The Tears That Won'T Run Down My Cheeks Poem by Jame Paise

The tears that won't run down
my cheeks
Corrupt my veins
Until they beg to leak
Let out a bit of the pain
That leaves me nauseated
Restless
Has turned me hopeless
I scream for help
And all I get, pushed
By behind
Constant pity and understanding
I didn't ask for the story of
Your life
Or compassion
I want...
What do I want?
What do I need?
I need to be alone
Need to run away
Need to be held
By the one who
Won't
Can't
Doesn't... need me in his life
You showed me there was better
Yet didn't mention it wasn't
For me to have.
