These tears are not for you

These tears are not for you,

They’re borrowed from the eyes you stole.

The breath wasn’t yours to take.

I’ll take your words,

And be gone.

Pure romantic you are JF. Gorgeous work. A force to be reckoned with, and it seems you have been. I think you will probably find that feelings take no prisoners.

Smiling at you

i like it alot. Its very short but has alot of meaning to it. and which i like that.
Its full of anger in just those simple words wich make your poem great and good and i think anybody would like to read this. its also very deep in thought for me.
Keep on and dont stop!

Hmmm, very profound indeed and most enjoyable at the same time.

It would seem the tears are not yours either so don't waste them by indulging in regret. The breath comes and goes freely without design nor ownership and when one gets to a point where they feel they must have control over such things, then all feeling has been lost and the flesh of the heart will surely turn to stone.
Take the words, they are yours to keep and are spilled freely as are the tears and the breath.
