The tears


The tears stream down so easily 

From the words harmonizing in my head

From the lines and stanzas I have read

Mixed with pain and grief 

It's the sweet pain of destiny 

And happy ever after

The tears stream down so easily 

Washing and cleansing 

The beat mixed with the melody 

Dying to open my mouth and sing

Craving to say silent 

Wanting to open up and rhyme 

Holding in the words for someone else to write and sing

Yet the tears stream down so easily
