When tears don't move

It’s been awhile …
Here is a new original piece.

When tears don’t move.

When tears move
They are supposed to soothe
The emotions that started them rolling

But it’s an unusual occurrence
When tears don’t move
and the situation before you is unfolding

You see not only do they soothe
They are supposed to move
the evoker of such
But it’s a bad move
when your tears don’t mean that much

Not that tearing is a move
Like in a game, to accomplish some end
Truth is
tears come down in the game of love
Where it seems no one is intended to win

But when tears don’t move
You wonder why
You never really wanted to
And now there’s no reason to
cry
