Tears


When you feel alone and hurt and they just start coming

When all you ever want is to take off and they continue running

Your tears are sacred water

Your tears are able to slaughter

Your tears were made for laughter

Your tears always cause a major disaster

When you want to find a home but there's no right one

When you bask in the darkness of your depression and they keep flooding

Your tears, in general, are weapons

They can blow up in seconds

Tears aren’t for play
