Tears

Tonight I let the tears fall down,

Intricately portraying pain

But the pain inside

You cannot see,

Save for the eyes that cannot lie

Tears are the human expression

That something is wrong

Tears can mean a broken arm,

A broken heart

Tears can mean a death,

A broken life,

A cry for help

But behind these tears

Sit restless hearts,

Cruelly cut by the world

Tears are a gift

Pain is a gift

But I cannot say

A beautiful, decaprated

Broken soul is a gift

So as you lie awake tonight,

Remember the forgotten

Some of us don’t mend,

We just harden

Tears become a mara
