These Tears (Original Poem)

ORIGINAL POEM

Tears can no longer fall from these eyes
          Immune to hurt I must be
                   I see the anger, the disgust
                            Peering back at me consistently


                                          Have you fallen so far from that tree
                                                   to be deemed different than loving?
                                                            The selfishness masked is unbecoming
                                                                        All masks eventually develop cracks


                                                                      Pools have been filled by past tears
                                                               Memories I no longer hold on to
                                                       Although daily I am reminded
                                               that I'm vaguely a consolation prize


                                      An ego to an egoless man
                           Distinctly sabbotages the good it can
              During moments of joy and bliss
It teters above looking at what ifs

I hope you enjoyed my writing. I used to always write poems, all the time but have fallen out of it and are now just sometimes a more peaceful way for me to process feelings and such. I have begun to play with lyrics and such over the past few months so I do believe poems in a way can help me so I will try to write a bit more.

Thank you for reading, and as always...
