Author Information
Teased by tears
They linger, waiting
wanting to spill forth
Divine and heavenly
Yet they won't take their course,
You hold back, strong
a brave face you bear
but to me, it's painted
a mask that you wear
They wait, eager
Needing that release
Awaiting an order
to allow you some peace
You're stubborn and mighty
of that I am sure,
but you can't keep them waiting
they can't take much more
So with a few words
A single one swells
you push it back,
but many stories it tells
a soul misunderstood
a friend I have found
and one I shall cherish
to this fate I am bound
And as you cry that one tear
let it be free,
you'll be crying
a small part of me
So cry now, my friend
and allow yourself a smile
for more words I'll find
to make this worth your while.
