Black Tears


So dark, and full of intense pain

As the fire boiled deep inside

The poison that boiled through tensed veins

Trying to hide behind a world that has become blind

Black tears painting ones face

But burning a hole deep into the mind

Who would want to go such a place

To dark and abyss to see with the naked eye

Growing closer and much colder

Black tears began to freeze stingingly

The roses began to wilt growing older

Black, frozen tears shattering... as they hit the concrete

<p>As i look to women who go through abuse, i made this poem to explain the pain and the things that they go through. Cause i feel as if its something that some people ignore. But it is hey this problem is happening everyday in this world and it&#39;s a painful experience. And these women should&#39;nt have to go through this, no women should have to face abuse or violence.</p>
