Tears Are Words

Tears are words in liquid form
Unspoken, suppressed because
The person you want to speak them to is
Dead or hostile
Won't respond like you want 'em to

Those hot words
Squeezed out through your eyes.

Last time I cried tears of happiness:  January 19, 2009.  That's a poem for another time..

It's an embarrassing picture, but a happy one.
