Unforgotten Tears : Life

written by Poet : EC


In my tracks I found an old woman in tears
this sight became an arrow in my heart
piercing it with questions
why did she cry?
she even sounded like a baby
what had turned her 85 years into 0?

I wanted to hug her, to comfort her
in her eyes I found fright
I didn't want to scare her even more
all I could do was to turn away
to avert my eyes
not to look at her anymore
I chose what gave her instant comfort
but not the help she needed
that's why I'm haunted by her tears
