A Women\'s Tears

A crystal clear drop,

Emotion bottled up.

A mystery to men,

But it ought to not.

Such a simple thing,

But it\'s so complex.

It never can be held,

It\'s not just a thought.

It’s a deep feeling, 

It’s a show of words,

Which are not.

 

A tear is a gift,

A mystery,

Something to solve.

It hides things you’ll never know.

It holds the secrets of our hearts,

A tool or an escape,

A blade or wave,

It\'s the best or the worst.

It whispers things that either make or break us,

Time, trust, and patience are tools, 

You’ll see.

 

A tear is a wish our heart makes.

It\'s something that grows,

It’s something you hide,

It’s not ready for the world outside.

 

Such a simple drop of water,

Can show you our secrets,

Either were at the top,

Or we’re breaking into a million pieces.

It\'s a way to survive.

A way to live or to die.

For us it\'s who we are inside.
