Leftover tears

Tears have fallen directly down my cheek
My face becomes sticky
And I feel as if there is no help to seek
Wounds are still open
My hands feel sweaty and bare
Leftover tears have fallen everywhere
The moments I feel trapped with my own demons
The only way to release them is to cry
Cry so hard, I end up laughing
Then all of the sudden; I think I'm going to die
Scars of the past continue to haunt me
I feel them reach around my neck
They bring the guest of honor: all of my fears
But it's always enough to generate leftover tears.
