| Mourn A Tear Pain, anger, fear, and joy can be shown by a tear Trickling and sliding make up its career Its adventures down the features of a face Remind me of a shooting star in outer space Its beautiful color of transparency The glint of a rainbow rarely seen Its perfect warmth, its awesome grace Some feelings make it appear out of place Moist, small, and filled with emotion With its very travel it causes commotion It draws "caring" friends like candy does flies They all feel like they have to know why Why does lost love cause you pain? Why can't you just let go of that feeling again? Why can't you grow up and let it all go? Why oh why do they ask if they already know? Amazingly though, the tears help the release Of emotions that gnaw, hurt, and keep you from peace I have to admit I've grown quite attached With the sweet tear's bond, our tiny pact I'll miss it when it's finally gone When it leaves me vulnerable, all alone When it takes that final leap of faith Off the edge of my still-wet face Farewell to that passionate orb of glass Shaped as a tear, my ever last I will not cry, this moment, any longer My tears have fallen, my mood now somber Cathy 5-22-03 |
