In the woods

in poem •  7 years ago 


I stood there in the woods crying
Sweat dripping from my head
Why was I crying
Beading upon my brow
A drip hits my toe
A drip
A drip

No sound other than the tiny plop
the sound of the drop

Memory of sorrow I could not find
Had I lost it from within my mind

To be crying with no grief
with no relief

Why were the tears staining my cheeks
I hadn't been sad for several weeks

I tilt my head downwards to look at my toe
The back of my neck is wet don't you know

What is with this my tears can't fight gravity
What crazed world caused this depravity

I tilt my head back just in time to see
a face splashing drop drip from a tree

I must be tired to mistake this for crying
I should be sleeping instead of trying

Yet....
How did I get into these woods?
