DRY EYES

Tears welled up in her eyes,
They couldn’t fall down,
She... wouldn’t let them.
A dam built in her eyes...
A dam which failed open even in the direst of circumstances...
Oh and what dire circumstances she had faced!
One such circumstance came by,
As wonted as she was, she refused to shed tears.
Her virtuous patience had suddenly mutated into the gruesome face of an ugly vice,
Scavenging on everything sad.
She couldn’t bear the reproach,
The savage tear filled eyes silently asking:
“Have you no heart?”
She silently trying to explain
Another flood came by,
Another failed attempt.
Suddenly the dam in her eyes developed a leak...
Seconds later another appeared!
It was as if Poseidon Himself came down upon her,
The dam broke.
She fell, her patience fell.
Reproach turned into acceptance
Anger into pity,
Ignorance into false knowledge.
Open-armed they welcomed her,
She was one of them now!
