When she died, he sat alone for long hours by her grave, tears soaking his gray-flecked beard.

Her tears soaked through his shirt as he stroked her long brown hair.

The tears in my eyes were soaking my face.

Someone's tears were soaking the paper so she could hardly read the terse scrawl.

She wept against his shoulder, the fast, hot tears soaking his shirt.

And if there were tears soaking her makeshift pillow, there was, at least, no one to see.

With each breathless weep, she barely makes a noise, but I feel her tears soak my shirt.
