I Didn't Even Cry

I didn't even cry;
Not a single droplet of
salty liquid burned
the rim of my eyelids.
Like drops accumulating
on a window; that transparent
mirror, and I didn't even cry...

I didn't even cry;
Like the piercing rain
falling from the cotton clouds
like a sprinkler spewing needles.
The homicidal H2O
Would soak me in the abyss of regret;
charcoal locks may become matted to my forehead,
and I didn't even cry...

I didn't even cry
when my heart, soul, and every being
scolded me for being so content during your dismissal.
You raced off on that fiery red escape from hell.
You departed without a last glance,
and I didn't even cry...

...and the tears start flowing...
