trails and traces

the trails and traces
the tracks of tears
streaming down my face

i've been waiting
all night long
to finally share these. my fate.

> if tears are trails
then i've been on a long journey.
they're telling a story of stored grief in my heart - to a hidden melody.

>if tears be traces, then am i thus scarred, marked for life by the landmarks inside my chest
telling their own stories and buikding up walls.
it appears they know best.

>if tracks seem as they were
they would be railroads travelling as far as the eye to see.
in transit to make somewhat of my life and of my life my own misery.

the trails and traces
the tracks of tears
streaming down my face

tell the gruesome stories
and tales of my heart
going from place to place.
