And the tears
They burnt like fire
Their silence
Pierced like knives
They turn and walk away.
I light the match and smile
An old friend, or foe
Abandoned for reasons unknown
Flame touches my palm
The heat of the moment
The tears again
And then the flame
One causes the other
Without gain
While neither of them are the same
She sees me
Her eyes, burning eyes
Look sad with tears
And disappointment
I look away
But her burning eyes
She nothing, but know
They cause me more pain
Than tear and flame combined
I turn unto confusion
