tear
close your eyes and the world you shall see
a world hidden from your view
a world obscured with a screen
open your eyes and you will never find
the meaning you search for
the feelings you desperately try to hide
a single tear
can glide down your cheek
wiping away, the timid and weak
and in that tear, lives all your pain
pent up
held captive in the caged prison that forces it to behave
as that tear escapes
as it runs quickly away
a feeling is set free
a piece of you
a piece of me
as your hand reaches
to wipe that tear away
remember what it is
remember what brought it out
and let it go about its way.
do not crush its single escape
it bears the pain
the pain that you and i
dont have the strength to sedate.
