salty tears
crept
down my cheeks
leaving the skin tight
parched.
I couldn't explain
or reason
those salty tears
had all of my focus
slipping slowly
daring me to wipe them away
I couldn't speak
nor did I want to
salty tears,
sometimes
they are enough
I could continue.
Oh...I like this Katie, a lot. Especially the last line.
