Tears

Tears
Comfort me
Where the world goes wrong
Love my skin
Like no human can

Hear me
Confess - wash my soul clean
When my spirit asks why
Answers me
Where Gods remain silent

Flavor my cheeks
When deities smite me
Kiss my lips
When lovers fight me
Allow me a way
On the sorrow-less seas
To be lightness

When the weeping ceases
My mask of salt feels me
Still clings to me tightly
As long as I need to be
Holds my pain
Like no human can
