Juan Olivarez - Exploring the Power and Fragility of Words and Tears

What is the use of words, <br />What are tears worth after all. <br />Nobody listens to words anymore, <br />And tears just stain your face. <br /> <br />Words are carried off by the wind, <br />Tears make mascara run, <br />You are left speechless, <br />Face stained like a clown. <br /> <br />Destiny and fate cannot be confronted, <br />They have each others backs. <br />When you face destiny, fate attacks, <br />And vice versa. <br /> <br />What good are tears, broken hearts, <br />Are for fools and incurable romantics. <br />I.. am a realist, I know the outcome, <br />Tell me then, why life hurts so much. <br /> <br />4/13/12 Alton Texas<br /><br />Juan Olivarez<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/what-is-the-use-4/
