Silent Tears , A Poem written by Manuella Makafui Kudjo

 These tears:

I hold them so dear 

Like hugs

And shed them so clear 

Like the day 

My vision is blurred 

Due to trying to keep these tears

I shed them in places 

Where no one can see

I shed them

Away from judgemental eyes

Every first drop taste of sadness 

Second drop smells of pain

Third looks like disappointment 

Fourth hugs me tight like torture 

Fifth drop breaks trusts 

And the last drop spells fear 

One by one

They all fail like dominos 

Or like rain drops 

And then the water falls of disdain 

But it is all in vain 

Since there is no gain

So leave me to shed

The many silent tears

I do dearly cherish 

And forever will embrace until I perish
