She’s feeling it right now,
a hollow ache deep in her gut, no explanation why.
It’s just there.
Hot tears fall down her cheek and she
can’t talk, can’t breathe.
She tries to explain it, but nothing comes out.
Another hot tear and another gasp of pain.
She’s trying to break away, but it pulls her back in.
Sucks her into a vortex,
a great dark abyss full of black ink that coats her.
Then when the path clears,
there is no answer to the nagging question...
why was she crying?
She had no reason for it,
but the tears fell.
They fell until she felt better
and her soul
was cleansed.
