Vain Pain

Stinging fire bursts begin to burn through my eyes.
I feel the searing heat down my cheek, so quickly I wipe it away.

On the back of my hand I examine these small specks of water;they have so much meaning.
They begin to tingle with all their emotions, melting into my skin.

An aroma of steaming salt begins to linger-
A stained face with last night's fight.

Although the tears begin to disappear.
The dissolving water remains in vein....

  1. Wow. Very moving. You've become very communicative with your poetry. And that's what you want in a poem. Good job!
