Poetry: Tears

by Ethan Womack

Created on: September 12, 2007

I can feel my pulse rising
Vocal chords, and heart dividing
So many things that want to engulf me
But I'm not sure which mouth to jump in

Your heart left you along with your mind
My part is to help you unwind
Everything that comes undone now
I'll replace your soul with a sound
Which way, up, down, side, back inside
Erasing yourself, just so you can hide
Mother told me to be what I am
My foothold on life is nothing but sand

Chemicals balancing on a string
Give it a tug, they'll all fall into me
Hoping that you're just my imagination
I think I'm falling down, please hold my hand

Your heart left you along with your mind
My part is to help you unwind
Everything that comes undone now
I'll replace your soul with a sound
Which way, up, down, side, back inside
Erasing yourself, just so you can hide
Mother told me to be what I am
My foothold on life is nothing but sand
