562 – Tears in the rain
The tears in your eyes
Were always right.
Running down your cheeks
They never lost their way.
Even when tackled
By a stolen kiss.
I never learned
How to read them.
I never heard
Their whispered screams.
I never saw
Behind your eyes.
Until the day
You broke the spell.
Sparkling shards
From a broken glass.
A stain of bourbon
On the wall.
The lingering echo
Of a slamming door.
The tears in your eyes
Were always right.
