Tears of Pain
by Omini Riman



I can feel it. Walking down in drips.
And branching by the best
corners of my cheeks.
A taste of a bitter test.

I cried in pain
My voice has gone.
My breath is gasping.
Words of agony burn
Every desolation in turn.

Flowing tears.
Read tears that appear
to walk the streets
alone, beats
the gutters,
opening the sight for bitter
view of excited crowd.
