Petals of tears by Nqobile

My tears are petals

tumbling one after the other

soft

fragile

pretty

they collect

and sit on my bosom for me to carry

until the next time they well up

and I weep for you

for I do not know how to exist

in a world without you

so I weep

softly

quietly

the only way I know how

petals of tears
