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
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.
