I could feel the wetness on my skin,trickling down like rain.
It was drifting slowly,warm to the touch,born from embedded pain.
I was UN aware of this body of water that I forced to be vacated.
It had been so long since I allowed this emotion to resurface and be created.
Shortly after, another fell and gracefully died upon my lips.
This salty flavored residue that spelled emotion with a drip.
Absorbed by how I felt and what my pain had brought to life.
Tangible evidence accumulated from all my agony and strife.
As I continued to stare into my reflection,a couple drops have enabled a storm.
creating a hurricane ripping threw my eyes, projecting a heart that has been torn.
Lost in this whirlwind of vastness, I was baptized in my own implosion.
No longer trapped in my flesh,it has made way outward into an explosion.
Admiring its clear existence, as vacancy was its illuminated hue.
Wondering why this infinite body of water, was not the color of blue.
After all it felt like water at least thats how it would appear.
Soaked in my emptiness that formed into a lake, created from just one tear.
