Pain comes
Like a knife
Close inside.
Tears start
In the depths
Of my heart.
They well up
Through my lungs
And throat.
Puffing my nose,
Making my face
Quite red.
Tears reach
My eyes
And brim over.
I feel it
All the way down
To my toes.
These tears
Come from
Deep within.
When gone,
My eyes
Are glistening.
