Bleeding Tear 

 

If a tear starts bleeding in your eye

Spreading slowly like an opened wound,

Close your eyes to heal it dry.

 

If a tear heavies on the rim of your eye

Trembling like feet about to jump off,

Face the wind to blow it West.

 

If you're too weak and let a tear drop

Like a leak from a cracked dam,

Wipe it quickly, ever so quickly!

 

If betraying tears stream down

And suddenly you bear wet palms,

Cup your hands to break their fall.

 

If tears have flooded your eyes

And you know you’re slowly drowning,

Crumble on to rebuild anew.

 

If you've crumbled to an army of tears

Surrendered to another battle,

Stand tall for tomorrow's victory.
