No.9

Teardrops escape

Teardrops fall onto the surface

They look up at me

Surrendering

Just like I've surrendered

And ask

"What's next?"

I cannot think, let alone comprehend, what comes next...

What do i say? How do I reply?

They hydrate my eyes, yet I cannot even give them the comfort of knowing that they've been released for a reason

I could not keep them in their home, inhabiting my eye sockets, for a reason

What was that reason?
