WHY TEARS TASTE BITTER

A lonely droplet of liquid emotion
Gently rolling down a stone face
Eroding a small trail of burning remembrance
Why do these tears taste bitter?


.....Once had is lost.....


A storm of falling pain
Bathing in a dreary shade
Drowning in a self imposed imprisonment
Why do these tears taste bitter?


.....Once lost be forgotten.....


A void simply empty
So kept yet so complicated
Unable to cloak in ignorance forever
Why do these tears taste bitter?


.....Lest pain, mourn and sorrow.....


rain cloud eyes
Tattered clothing reflecting her disdain
Of weeping silence in apt disconsolate woe
Why do these tears taste bitter?


.....Be your life the cost.....


The lure of luscious splendor
The mementos of lust and power
The only relic of a corrupt past
Are these tears bitter, too?


.....Why?.....


Are we blessed with these feelings?
To live with pain and joy?
And if we could no longer feel it
Would these tears also taste bitter?


.....It's just a reminder we live in the heavens of hell.....
