Amazing...
how tears vanish
in the rain
face turned to the clouds
to hide
this bitter pain
to hide
from prying eyes
the fall for vanity
for my pride
this pain
you shall never see
Heart breaks
deep within
and a cold mask
so carefully placed
for it cannot rain
everyday
this is why I dance
in the storm outside
this is why I sleep
alone,
away from the light
away from your eyes
I wear a mask
to hide my pain
behind the shadows
beneath the rain
Author notes
A teardrop is insignificant in a pool of water, but it can touch the soul as it runs down someone’s face.

Madd... That's amazing. There is a depth there that arises from not the words but the connection to the reader. Or maybe it's just me. Thank you for sharing this beautiful piece, reading it was very... revealing.

This is truth my dear, for the rain can hide the tears
as they fall down upon the dry earth, and none will be
any wiser for the fact that the rain that now falls
hides just a few more extra droplets of water.
Bravo.
