Confession

I have been thinking
Of something to tell you.

We all hold sadness dear, within.
And maybe
Tears are the nectar that shines our eyes with life.

I know you feel a little sad today.
I was feeling too, yesterday.
And then, I thought of you.

I remembered what time taught us.
The arrows that have pierced us
and taught us tears, cannot be saved for later use.

I have taken them out
and saved them among books
I no longer read.

So the day I forget you
I can heal.

And you?
