When tears flow

moments of silence
moments of darkness
the few moments i cherish
when i pick up my pieces
and join them together
to become whole
even if for a moment or two
but to experience feelings that are so true
that i thought i had buried them
or that had died on me a long long time ago
and when it all comes together like that
i feel so overwhelmed
so very overwhelmed
that tears flow.
and i'd thought that my tears had long dried up
and now they flow again
and now i live again.
