Crying

I'm crying, crying, crying,
But I don't shed a tear.
Just a swelling of my heart,
And a growing presence of fear.

I'm crying, crying, crying,
But no water touches my cheeks.
Just a balloon inside my stomach,
Expanding for weeks and weeks.

I'm crying, crying, crying,
But there's no way to dry my sadness.
Because no wetness is on my face,
This crying induces a scary madness.

I'm crying, crying, crying,
Silently on the inside of my chest.
My insides are about to burst,
I just wish I could cry like the rest.

again... this one gets right to my heart. i feel for this person, i can actually feel their pit of the stomach feeling and their chest aching... love this, b/c of the emotion. and although the person in the poem cannot cry, it sure gave me a good one... love you.
