Crying is to stop from Dying

A desperate sadness I think many can relate to. When love hurts it can feel that death is an easier escape sometimes.  The lines draw the reader into the picture with the clear visual cues and lovely descriptiveness. The amount of emotion is moving and there feels to be an undertow of betrayal and lack of empathy from others. I could be projecting though, lol
These dark times are always times of great spiritual growth, but it's hard to see the benefit during the pain.
Wonderful write as always, dear Grace xx

Thank you Miki, for reading and understanding. Strength can be garnered from grief and mourning for something one lost or of an end. As long as one survive the transition. That I think is the toughest part, to get over it or I would in my fanciful way say 'crossing the bridge'. Sometimes the river looks beautiful and tempting enough to repose in.:) haha! :)

Very nice, this one, Grace--I read it after you posted it and had to let it digest a bit before commenting.  I think this is one of your best pieces!

Hi Mlavender, thank you. :) takes a bit of digesting that one. You know me, I spew words not all of them coherent as poetry...haha!

There is a beautiful sense of realization in this poem, and that is what makes it exceptional. It is not only the realization for the speaker, but also for the reader. As other posters said, it is a feeling many can relate to--but not one I feel that has ever been verbalized in a such a clear, vulnerable way.

Thank you for sharing.

Thank you TheMuses22. Indeed, the pain is different in every individual and not everyone can say it the same way. Thank you so much for reading me.:)

Beautifully written! I guess crying is like poetry in a way, our soul has to let these feelings come out so we can begin to heal. Loved it!

Crying is a poetry I would not wish on anyone, especially if it hurts so bad. It is cleansing though...although pain will never really go away, its just a dulling of the senses. Phoenix_Risen, thank you for dropping by and reading.:)

Tears are therapeutic, a catharsis bringing relief unless they pour too frequently.  I think that's when the senses become dulled, or drowned.  Grief, over even melancholy, can be incapacitating.  The tears are still a hell of a lot better than dying, as you observe in the title.  This is excellent work Grace.  

That's true Crowfly better tears then dead. Time heals most time. Thanks:),for reading.

awesome. luv it
