Tears are a funny sort of thing.
Cool tears of relief,
Gently streaming down the face.
Burned from worry and anger.
Hot tears of frustration
Cutting racetracks down
The unsuspecting cheeks
Of the upset.
Tears of the lovers' eyes
Gently slipping at departure
Returning again at reunion.
Tears for those gone
From this earth and from this life.
Representing deep regret
Of the cried and cried for.
So strange the way tears affect us,
Tears of joy and sadness and rage.
Just now,
Are you remembering the tears
You cried?
I am,
These strange, strange tears.
