drizzle of tears

at first the tears began as drizzle
until I could no longer hold back
the swollen floodgates of tears
they poured out like monsoon rains
until my body and heart was depleted
of its light and now only sleep
can restore my drained soul

  2. It truly can be draining to feel that kind of anguish. I almost went to this place of tears with my quadrille and ended up at the other end of the spectrum. Thanks for joining in.

  12. A good cry can be cleansing...emotions/events can build pressure that needs to be released!
