The Liquid on Pages

For the times I cannot speak
I have my pen and pages to sneak
They take my hand and make me write
What I cannot utter through a voice I do not have

It is just the tears that dries
To a paper with words I write
When ink is not blue but what runs in my insides
In truths of emotions where the liquid stream out

Now when my eyes continue to swell
That I cannot understand why
It should stop, I say as it really should
Yet paper continue to collect my tears when some dried up

Like an art they were framed on paper
The liquid on pages that left a mark
For it is a moment I only dislike
Because of the blues that almost took over my life

For as we now close the pages
We look at the marks of dried tears
A bitter smile escape in a luminous leer
And to foresee self running to it again
