Somehow, as if unsure of when to arrive,
My tears dry up,
A mirage.
Leaving my eyes bare and confused,
Unsure of how to feel
If not upset.
Staring into the frozen space beyond your shoulder,
And listening to the cold words
Above my forehead.
Not knowing i am below,
Directly below.
Words dripping
Neon and burning
Into my clenched palm.

Ouch....yeah I hate how people do that! You just wanna walk up to them and say "uh here I am yeah I can hear you" or "why don't you just say it to my face you coward" because that's what they're being to you: a coward. Great poem! Very heartfelt
