Laughing Through Her Tears Poem by Darrell Wright

I'm drawn to men who make me laugh
So I forget my pain,
So I forget my hollowed heart,
So I don't go insane.

I like it when I laugh so hard
That tears come to my eyes:
The tears that wash away the tears
From men who tell me lies,

From feeling down another day,
From all my many fears.
I wonder if there is no joy
Except in laughter's tears.

O how I'd love to laugh all day,
Then happy go to sleep;
Just laugh and cry those happy tears,
So I don't have to weep.
