If I cry Silver?

If I cry tears of silver,

will you collect them and put them in your backpack?

Or will you just wipe them and sit next to me?

Console me or

make me cry again?

Because I pour silver out of my eyes. 

Like a radiant sadness,

welling in the depths of

my sights.

A brimming emptiness

I cannot find.

If my tears were silver?

What would you do?

sit next to me or console?

or run away?

With my silver tears 

rubbed on your hands,

smeared on your pockets

and smudged on my face.

Robbed out of my heart.
