It's Time Again to Shed Tears

As the tears flow seeking freedom
From the control I imposed
On bewilderment
That one's professed love
Is so worthless
It doesn't deserve my tears.

That it's professed to one
Practiced on another
How can my heart not
Feel it
Must I pretend
I do not care
I have no reply
I have nothing to say
My silence bewilders
Me.
My bewilderment silences me.

Witch doctor
The medicine you practice
Can't cure can't heal
You treat the symptom harshly
Ignoring the cause.

You're teaching every cell of my being
To shirk from love.
From your shark love....

From your lovely
Harpoon.....

On the sea front I made a vow
I will not look to further shores
Again
...
The sea wailed my distress
While I smiled
My tearless brittle
Brilliance
For the eager
Camera.
