No Time For Tears

for a friend

 

She has no listeners, only critics.

When she asks for someone to lend

her an ear, all she hears is the

crickets chirp. She dated different

jerks and gave up on them ‘cause

she claimed that it just didn’t

work. The chemistry wasn’t there

and it made the physics berserk. The

subtle science of relationships always

seems to lead to muffled crying while

someone’s trying to wipe the tears. I

guess she feared to cry alone. But if

I learned anything in my long nineteen

years, it’s that tears always dry on their

own. So my fingers can cross your face

like windshield wipers but it will still

take time for the vehicle to dry and for

the clouds to dissipate and reveal a

clearer sky. And she is all gratitude.

Saying that it’s nice to be held as she

is still searching desperately for my

cell. Too bad I dwell between

nonchalance and a common bond. You

called me indifferent but at least I’m

listening. And before you judge me,

Remember that I was your hero when

they zeroed in and hit you with that

atomic bomb. I thought for a second

that you would remain a broken

puzzle, but you already started

piecing yourself back together.

Very interesting.... the injured party seems a little stronger.... and maybe a little colder than one might have thought. But then perhaps that's only my interpretation. Good write!
