Emotions of Ebony

Tears

                                                In
                                             a dark,
                                         cold corner
                                       of a cell, both
                                     your hands and
                                  feet were shackled.
                            Crystal clear tears rushed
                        down your smooth pale cheeks;
                   every tear for every moment wasted
                 in your miserable life. These salty tears
              built up in your eyes, suddenly overflowing.
          But there were five tears sparkling in pitch black.
        First, the tear of losing a friend. Second, the tear of
         betrayal. Third, the tear of being a disgrace. Fourth,
          the tear of taking someone’s life. Finally, the tear
            of regret. These five tears were like waterfalls,
             cascading from your sore eyes to the concrete
                 floor. They created a puddle. You moved
                      over to it and saw the time before
                               these tears had drowned
                                      your frail heart.
