The Tears and I


Sometimes i am water

Who gives life

And takes it

All in a single blow-

The tears

Sometimes i am ice

Who freezes

And breaks

And leaves nothing behind but tears

Sometimes i am wind

Who flies through the air

And wipes away my own tears

Before they get to fall

Even though we all know

That they are here
