Tears Poem by EWJ Stardog

Born to die and never live
Tears cried as a little kid

As it slowly runs down my cheek
It gives you a preview of what I think

This tear for the pain buried inside
This tear for my soul hung out to dry

This tear for the fear that continues to haunt me
This tear for the scares you decided to carve in me

This tear for the youth only you could steal
This tear for the love I could never feel

It’s been a long time sense I cried a tear, due to
I was all cried out in the early years

I cry no more for what use to be, I only hold
These memories deep within me

I have no tears for the hate I feel for you,
I just always wonder how you get through
Knowing this is about you
