Like Any Other Tear by =Ex1:iconEx1:





I can't stress the words I've already said to you
no matter what I try I can't make them true.
Only state my view
and hope you feel the same way I do
when I receive a reply from you.

My hands can't touch your heart
the voice I have can't change your mind
geniune feeling's can't truly be swayed
never for long
and eventually not this time.

I compact my emotions right here
heavy heart with burden now revealed.
They can't reach you now
just dropping trails of flame
like any other tear.

Deviation two-hundred. Custom poetry for ~fi5hi3 that he'll never read. *sighs heavily*

The question is if I had tried harder would it have helped? He had people closer who did their damndest and truly cared. He and I were acquaintances but I see in him some of what was in me at one point. I asked him a question because him and I shared a hope in common. I asked him if it was worth it. He said yes, it was but he's gone now. If it was truly enough it could've kept him here.

I don't know. It's because of wanting something that you don't perceive that you have now or can ever get. It's sad because I learned from this and now...if it happened to me it wouldn't shock me enough to throw me over the edge.

The real thing here...is the presence of the weightless and belated tears and this poem. Why? I hardly even deserve to weep for someone I didn't truly know. But the kicker is this. Even if you were his mother...your tears are the same. Sadness and pain in a form you can understand. . .

. . .like any other tear.

The preview is something from ~michaeljustman and this is his original here [link] if you like the picture. He can tell you about what it is and symbolizes. It's original artwork from him and if you like the picture give it a look on his page, please.

"My hands can't touch your heart" This is probably my favorite line in this poem...
It's so sad. Some poems are lengthy in an attempt to really get across emotion. You didn't do that and got across just as much, if not more. The concept of any other tear is wonderful, in such a sad way.

Some things happen, and you couldn't have changed them if you'd done anything different...

Love is like pi -- natural, irrational, and very important.
Thank you for your compliments.

And...I didn't try so I'll never know. *sighs*

Tis a lifetime to find something worth searching for...
...but just an instant to mourn its loss.
My God...that's deep. And that's not me being sarcastic ('Cause for me it hard to express tone through text as a written word and a form of speech).

Beautiful and...I'm truly sorry for your loss.

I guess I'm lucky because people have told me they'd do it, and they didn't; I'd see them the next day. Still, it scared the shit out of me.

I just wish there was something more comforting I could say. I'm sorry.

in a world beyond controlling
are you gonna deny the savior in front of your eyes?

You don't have to say anything. I'm just glad you liked the work. Go look at the origin of the picture if you haven't and I'm just happy you took a look at my work at all.

*smiles softly* Thank you.
