INTRODUCTION

You know that burning sensation you feel at the back of your throat at times when you are sad, happy or even when you've nothing to cry about, but you still can't cry. Yes, it was that moment for me when I came up with this poem. Another poem of my quarantine collection, this is a reminder for you to remember that sometimes it's okay to cry even if you have no reason to.

DRY TEARS

Even after my countless try

My eyes are still dry

But one day I surely will

Cry sitting near my window's sill.

Turning insane

Coz my mother shouted at me

Or maybe in pain

For something tragic I see.

Or maybe I've done something wrong

Or crying while listening to a sad song

Pouring the pain of my heart out

For the emotions I can't speak about.

One day my face will surely be damp

For the emptiness I feel in my pit

Or for all the past mistakes I did

For the ones who left me

Or the arguments I don't agree with.

For experiencing a tough day

Or while joining my hands to pray

And I'll cry and cry too loud

For someone I loved who's now dead

Till no tears are left to shed.

I know my eyes are emotionless now

But someday somewhere

while sitting alone

With a blank mind and thinking of none

my eyes will water again

And tears will fall on their own.
