The Leaky Faucet

I am a leaky faucet

All I can do is cry

You’re lucky when you see me

Somehow these eyes stay dry

But in those lonely moments

When I can simply fall

The rivers break before me

And decimate this wall

I cannot cease to think

Of you now all the time

Even waking in the darkness

To mark down this precious rhyme

You say you’ll see me again

Your embrace and words my comfort

“I know…I know...” I manage

And yet this breaking must come first
