You Feel the Burn When You Cry

You Feel the Burn When You Cry
by Mark Henry
You feel the burn when you cry.It starts to come when someone dies.The pain you feel as your eyes swellAnd the tears will up in the wells.The burn starts to choke you up.The words come out slow and shaken.You close your eyes and wonder whyThere is a burn when you cry.When Owen left it felt like hands across my throat.I couldn't talk I couldn't see.The burn overwhelmed me.My heart is heavy, this is whyYou get the burn when you cry.It digs down deep, you cannot sleep.You toss and turn in your sheets.Awaken with sobs and wet pillow cases.You wander aimlessly looking to the sky.You feel the burn when you cry.
