Teardrops
Teardrops


If I showed you my teardrops
would you collect them like rain,
Or would you store them in jars
and label them with the word "PAIN."
Would you follow their tracks
from my eyes down to my cheeks,
As they write all of the stories
that I am just too scared to speak.
Would you stop them like kisses
and bring their flow to a screeching halt,
As you teach me that pain
trong> is not always just my fault. Would you hold my face gently as you dry both of my eyes, And whisper the words, "You are too beautiful to cry." If I showed you my teardrops would you show me your own, As we learn that though we are lonely we are never really all alone. .
