Tears

This is a poem about the different reasons we cry.

I come when pain
Becomes too much to take.
I come when you're sad,
Or your heart starts to break.
I might come when you panic,
I might come when you're mad.
I'll show up here and there,
When enough is what you've had.

I'm salty and warm,
I might be big or small.
Sometimes when you're strong,
I don't come up at all.
I fill your eyes with moisture,
I roll down your cheek.
Sometimes I mean joyous,
Sometimes I mean weak.

Sometimes when you're scared,
I come as a sign of fear.
You can feel when I'm coming,
Whether far or near.
I may come along
When you hear your favorite song.
Sometimes I show up
When you've been strong for too long.

I know you want to fly away.
I know inside you're a mess.
You long for a brighter day.
Tears are words the heart can't express.

How well you convey the range of emotions we feel that so often conjure up tears... I have cried on the naked body of the one I was making love to, moved by the pity of our lives that could find consolation in the physical and emotional act of love... Is it not so, that in the intensity of emotion that shows itself in overwhelming grief lies that same emotion that spills in other ways?

A lovely poem.

With all the bodily functions that exist
Tears have to be the most profound
They act within their own space
can't really control the process

and its the most natural thing

in sadness and happiness

Love this piece

No matter what we're feeling, happiness, sadness, or just crying for the sake of crying. Tears are life.
