Tears (original poem)

Image of Tears
She cries tears of pain
Her tears fall like April rain
Because... no matter how she begs and pleads
He can’t even begin to fulfill her emotional needs.
His lack of concern only feeds
The fire
Taking her frustration to a higher
Level
She’ll never settle
For less than the best
And all the rest
Can just cease the conquest.

As tears of pain metamorphosize
Into tears of frustration,
Her hesitation
And contemplation
To let him give her some sweet penetration
Builds.
Then, his lack of concern and his lack of class
Become his lack of ass.
Because of her lack of emotional satisfaction
Now he’s on ass-rations
And he thinks, “How the hell did that happen?”

You see… he thinks he’s all-knowing and omniscient,
But if he wasn’t so ignorantly blinded
And so damn narrow-minded,
He’d see that his words of choice
Accompanied by his tone of voice
When he decides to lash out
By taking the crass route
Hurt just as much as if
He knocked her ass out.

Her tears of frustration turn into tears of anger and rage
As she flips through each page
Of her life of strife from a young age
Becoming his wife
And now all her life’s a stage

As he
Acts the part and shows his ass
Enter, stage right, with balls of brass
The man with the lead role
Sleeping with everything that moves like he just got out on parole
Yet she can’t tell if it’s her or he
Whose line is next so she
Just lets it be
Stands aside and performs a soliloquy
And utters, “Damn, I don’t need this shit.
All these lies and game that he spit
Walkin around drunk and lit.”

To no surprise, the tears well up in her beautiful brown eyes
Wondering how she can simultaneously love and despise
This man for whom she’d take the fall
The man to whom she gave her all
For whom she broke down her wall.

Her bags are packed and sitting on the bed.
She silently curses him for messing with her head.
She gets her things, leaving emotions unsaid,
Places her keys on the table instead,
Walks out the door to become unwed,
And solemnly vows that not one more tear will be shed.
