Without Tears
By _Andrew_
What is life worth
When every dream goes sour
Like a glass of milk left in a fridge
That grows tainted over time
And to whom do I cry
When life leads me astray
Like a dog with no home
No one to turn to
No one to love me
And yet I cry
For only through tears may I find justification
Without them nothing makes sense
Even when I don’t know what’s behind them
And like the stray dog I wander
In search of what I think could be
A place in which he can call home
A person in which I find me

Wow. It's the first time I read your work and I really enjoyed this piece. And don't worry, sometimes it's better to be left without tears... To wash everything away... *Lilith*

"Like a glass of milk left in a fridge" fear not your tears, as we are all dogs wandering... tainted in time to time's demise. Beautiful poem, it flowed like tears as it cried for me. Thank you.

Truly a grand piece. Perhaps someday you will realize that someone too is searching for you, someone not so far away. Wonder who she could be...

I too find this to be an excellent piece. Most have been to where you speak of, and the line, "No one to turn to, No one to love me," hits close to home. Keep up the good work.
