Tears

Tears…
Slowly they fall,
Carrying with them broken dreams.
Promises of a better tomorrow
die in their crystal reflection.

Tears…
They burn when I try to kiss them
Your porcelain face glowing with each one
As they travel into the depths of my soul.

Tears…
Let me be one of them…
Let me know I was born from your feelings,
That once I came from your heart.
The thorns of love have pricked you
And brought them into your emerald eyes
If not for them I would not know you are alive.

Tears…
Your serene visage has not fainted,
And only they tell me you still feel.
The world stands still,
Waiting for them to hit the ground…
But they never do.
You only cry in my dreams
Only in them you give me your…

Tears…
