Tears
Suzanne Rose 1986 (Gainesville)
Stems of corruption,
Tears of destruction.
Running a mile away,
But coming back every single day.
I've filled the ocean with my salted tears.
I've seem to have lost all of my fears.
Night after night I cry,
Hoping each day the tears will pass by.
They always seem to come back,
Tumbling down feeling a huge sack.
Nobody seems to notice how I feel,
So my tears will never be able to heal.
Stems of corruption,
Tears of destruction,
Running a mile away,
But coming back every single day.
