Crystal tears fall from sad eyes,
made of pain she held inside,
numbness stole the need to cry,
shook her head and simply sighed.
Shook her head and simply sighed,
watch as years migrate through time,
deep within, pieces had died,
every time she failed to climb.
Every time she failed to climb,
motivation was declined,
turn sweet goals to bitter lime,
newfound fears fog up her mind.
Newfound fears fog up her mind,
hopeful heart transformed old sights,
force bad thoughts to become kind,
gathered tears light up so bright.
Gathered tears light up so bright,
bright future will always rise,
happiness deep inside shines,
crystal tears fall from blessed eyes.

As I was reading your poem, I thought of “The Lady of Shallot” by Tennyson, I’m imagining, of course; but I think if we got more of the Lady’s thoughts on things, they could come across like or as what you wrote. And if she let herself be more of herself, she might have had a better ending, as you say for your subject. Setting my imagination aside, this is engaging work!
So happy to read this. Thank you so much. You truly made my day.💕
Beautiful! I like how the first line of the next verse repeat the last line of the previous verse. Beautiful description of transformation. Thanks!
