Tears

by Peter Williams   May 20, 2005


Why do angels cry?
... Cry tears of pain,
Tears of blood.
Why do I continue to fight that I can not win?
Why do I dream of hope when there is none?
Why are my dreams always crushed into the bitter grounds of reality?
Tears......
So much tragedy,
So much pain.
It feels good to cry,
It's a feeling that I can not begin to comprehend.
The ability to cry......
I haven't cried in years,
Even when the moment was right.
I never cried.
... But now,
Now it is different.
Now I have regained the ability to cry.
Tears......
So much tragedy,
So much pain.
Raindrops are the tears of heaven.
Blood are the tears of the flesh.
Tears......
So much tragedy,
So much pain,
So many tears.
To cry is a gift.
To cry is to have a soul,
To have a heart.
There is a soul within me,
There is a heart.
Tears......
So much tragedy,
So much pain,
So many tears.
Tears are words that have not been spoken.
They tell you what you want to say,
When you can not say it.
Tears......
So much tragedy,
So much pain,
So many tears,
Too many tears.
They feel so pure,
So right.
To cry is a great feeling,
To feel pain is a great feeling.
It tells us that we are alive,
It tells us that we are not dead.
Tears......
So much tragedy,
So much pain,
So many tears,
Too many tears.
Let my soul cry,
Let my heart bleed.
Let tears flow through me,
For one day......
The tears will be of joy,
And there will be love in my heart,
In my soul.
... But for now,
I shall cry.......
Tears.
