leak the sadness

sometimes
my cheeks
glisten
as my eyes
leak the sadness
from my soul
each tear
carries
heartache
pain
sorrow
grief
each drop
that trickles
down my skin
forges the path
of healing
my soul
does not want
to retain the sadness
so
it lets it go
not in words
not in thoughts
but through
the simple
act
of crying.
