Tears that fall to the ground
Slip away through the floor.
As they fall from my eyes
They leave stains on my face
That nothing can wash away.
As I look in the mirror I see
Swollen eyes and a tear-streaked face
I see memories behind my eyes
That no tears can remove
The memories just remain there
Waiting, for a chance to pop back into my mind.
So that I will have to cry again.
