Tears

By Monkei

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Is this right? How can this be right, With these tears streaming down my cheeks? Tears I'm not supposed to possess... Tears I'm not supposed to know how to cry... How do tears fit into this relationship? Is that part of caring so much? Is that the part I've forgotten? How much of this will there be? I'm not sure how many nights like this I can take. Crying...alone...in my bed... How is this supposed to work? How do I function like this? Do tears come like this, When you care so much about somebody? How am I supposed to handle this? You can't hold me if your angry at me... Then what do I do? Don't be mad... Just accept me... Please... I don't know what else to ask of you... Don't hate me for being who I am... Don't hate me for knowing what I know... Don't hate me for being different than you... Don't hate me for having gone through what I have... Don't hate me....accept me.... I could handle it if it was anyone else. I could take it if it wasn't you... But it is... And the tears are here now... For you... Don't worry so much... Smile more... Everything WILL be ok... WE will prevail... These tears will fall away, And dry up. Is crying part of caring? To you have to feel pain to feel happiness? Is this part of the deal? I don't know if I can take these tears like this... On every night like this... I'll try though... For you... Everything will be ok.... Once these tears fall away. When these tears stop coming... Attacking me when I least expect it... I'll smile though... If you will... Even through the tears... I'll smile for you... Even through your curtain, And walls you built.... I'll smile for you... Through the darkness, You've trapped yourself in... I'll be your light... I'll smile for you... Even when I'm crying... And when the tears are pouring down my face like this... And I want to curl up and die... I'll smile for you... 'Cause I know...that tomorrow... Today will be yesterday... And the tears will be yesterday's... And tomorrow I'll know that today is a new day... A day to start over... A day to do better.... Tomorrow I'll smile through these tears for you... But now I need to cry them... And you're angry... So I guess I'll cry these alone... It's ok... I'll all be ok... Tomorrow... Written April 15th, 2002 © on Apr 14 2002 07:20 PM PST, Katie   0 • 12
