www.beoutandabout.comShe made me cry tonight

unexpected tears

brought forth by unexpected words

I took them to the dark, these tears of mine

because that's where tears belong they told me...

She made me cry

those sudden tears that sting your eyes

and burn your nose

but don't quite make your throat tremble

those tears that knock the self-assured wind out of you

and embarrass you even though no one's around.

She made me cry tonight

from words

that shook me hard enough to

prompt poetry

and gasp a little.

A short cry it was

no boxes of tissue or tear-streaked face

no body tremble or reddened eyes

just a quiet cry in the dark

for just a second

which is just how long she took to say...

"I love you".
