Tears

Tears flow

In the loneliness of the night,
When there's no one around me,
No one beside me,
To offer a shoulder or mere words of comfort
The tears flow

I have sunk deep into an ocean of nothingness
A sea,
Deeply filled with the sorrows
That linger in every moment of my wretched life
The tears flow

Am I alone?
The tears flow

My heart is filled with sadness
A grief,
That is feeding up on my soul
Try hard as I might,
I cant fight it anymore
The tears flow

I wish it didn't have to be like this
But I am truly lost
My bad luck accompanies me
As everything that was right,
Turned into a mere misfortune
And do I know what it means?
I know nothing and still...
The tears flow

Am I really crying?
Is this really me?
How did it all go wrong?
I am tired,
Searching for answers in this endless night
Truly lost,
I indeed am
And thus I let...
The tears flow.

    This was a great poem, portraying strong emotions and a relative flow. The free verse here is very well-written and your use of the phrase "The Tears Flow" was strong if not bordering over-usage.

    I liked how you didn't put in your title "The Tears Flow" because then the phrase would have been so worn out at the end, it would have been just plain annoying. But the title you chose instead "Tears" was rather cliche, if not a good choice but more creativity would have made it stand out more.

    "I have sunk deep into an ocean of nothingness
    A sea,
    Deeply filled with the sorrows
    That linger in every moment of my wretched life
    The tears flow"

    ^This was likely my favourite stanza, especially the first two lines. You describing something, then adding in a metaphor to completely allow the reader to wrap around the concept. Though how you just seemed to wedge in the last line was confusing. It didn't seem to make much of a connection with the rest of the verse.

    "Am I alone?
    The tears flow"

    ^This stanza was both interesting and disappointing. I liked how you decided to just have the one line, and your repeated phrase. I read over it a few times and found that there was a connection. But a cliche and sort of small thought when the usage of just one line and the repeated phrase could have been made so much stronger by rewording it or putting in a different line altogether.

    Overall this was a good poem. (;

    The repetition really strengthens the emotion in this piece the was some good imagery i could actually see in my minds eye the person in this poem sitting crying the words chosen are perfect.

    I think we all feel alone at times, even in a crowded room with a bunch of friends we often feel as if we have nobody. Nobody who you are or where your from, alone always feels the same. Excellent job 5/5 GG23
