Temporary Sorrow

Squeeze the salt out my swollen eyes
Flashes of misery, what are the reasons?
That distorted my focus, my perspective
My selfish prerogative

The banks of my eyes are dry
Leaving remnants behind
Fragments of a temporary sorrow
Inscribing you in my mind

Strange, only this morning
Did I stare into your sleep-deprived eyes
And swallow the tears in my cappuccino
And wish it were the way it was before

The words you write fill the dam in my eyes,
Complete the empty space in my heart,
Flood the drought of sugar in my voice,
Free the unborn bird in my mind
