"Tears"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Have you ever truly pondered;
ever just sat.
Have you ever tried?
~
Have you ever thought about
Every single tear.
That you have seen me cry?
~
I want you to take a moment;
Do it right now.
Please don't wait anymore.
~
I want you to count
Every dark splash.
Every tear that fell the floor
~
Every time I saw the glow.
That crimson color.
Every time that you would go.
~
I remember every instance;
Every single departure.
Every bitter sweet time.
~
A look in the mirror.
You blow me a kiss.
It breaks my heart - fractures my mind.
~
I swear to you my love.
I recall not one instance.
I cannot remember one day.
~
All I recall is that choking feeling.
I couldn't take it.
I cried as you faded away.
~
Why is my love so intense?
Why so strong?
What did you do?
~
I know this with certainty.
It's absolute fact.
No question - it's so very true.
~
I am positive every tear
Was me just missing
And wanting to keep you.
~
Even as I sit here writing.
This very moment.
Right here, right now.
~
There are tears running down my cheeks.
I can't stop.
I don't know how.
~
I think I might finally understand
Why all the tears, all the crying.
Why I am so sad.
~
A commitment to stay, to love
to not leave
From you - I never had.
~
There is one final part
I do now see
Yes - this part is new
~
You did see my love
You saw every tear
You tried to pretend it's not true.
~
When life shapes love
When you shape reality
When you tell your heart what to do
~
Love like ours
Love made from the night's stars
Was simply too bright
This love - terrified you.
