Halted Tears (sugar cannot cure)

We sit there together
Just you and me
a bond to later be
Thinking of the past sorrows
that we now have to share
Regretting each day
They took our home away
We let our beloved paradise go
You see my tears welling up
in my worn-out blue eyes
And simple say
"Lets get some ice cream"

Ice cream, Ice cream
The old childhood dream
You take me to
This place of innocence
and we sit licking a delicious
illusion of happiness
But I wish you would realize
we can't hold it back forever
For sugar cannot cure
This sadness of grieving loss inside us
But instead, I halt my tears for you
So you will not suffer the pain
Or get swept away by my sorrows too

So no matter how good
this ice cream may taste
These halted tears are delayed
but will have to repay you someday.
