Salty Tears

Salty tears

gliding down 

a stained cheek

from past tears

that left no marks

only seen by she who creates

Salty tears

drip off her chin

onto empty pages

waiting

for her paintbrush to

mark the serene white paper

but she keeps these

masterpieces hidden away

from wondering eyes

only seen by she who creates

Salty tears

are created by she
