The Tissue

Today I found a broken heart

In a tissue tossed on the ground

The tears it wiped were silent

The pain, without the sound

This tissue had a story to tell

Wrapped up in all its tears

A silent ending, a final goodbye

A silence that no one hears

I watched her wipe her bloodshot eyes

Her memories on her cheek

I'm sure they had a story to tell

But their voices were much too weak

And everytime the tissue fell

So did pieces of her past

Just another piece of broken love

That wasn't meant to last

Her tissue holds her secrets

Of a love she's known for years

But now discarded forevermore

In the tissue that holds her tears

Very good topic. You presented it to make me feel like I was there. I also thought that you had a pretty good conclusion. Also, it had amazing flow. Great job and this made it past the first cut in the contest.

Oh wow, how i felt this one, I loved the last stanza so much,
So deep and personal. Very well written.
