Lachrymal Atonement

Saline waters
Find their way
To my sallow flesh
Flowing endlessly
From the abysmal pools
Of this four-chambered vessel

Drop by drop
There is a story to tell
Each tear is filled
With unimaginable anguish
Each tear a manifestation
Of unsung sorrow

Its existence an irony
For each one is rooted from euphoria
Each one is borne from utopia

A teardrop serves
As a compensation
For my grave debt
Dues that need be reimbursed
For every moment of bliss
For every slice of heaven
That my undeserving self
Partakes from this temptress of a world
