TEARS

Tears do fall so freely

And as they do, they take away

A part of you that will never be

The way it used to be.

They rob you of yourself.

And you never know till its late,

Too late to take back tears

Too late to make amends.

Oh yes, time does rule

over the kingdom of man.

Man must abide & stick by its rules

For time decides what you lose;

And what you get,

Time decides whether you keep.

Tears do fall so freely

And you don’t remain ‘you’.

Each tear takes away something,

Something to keep.

Each tear robs you of joy

And then makes you cry when you are joyous

So perhaps you are compensated that way…

But then, when have compensations

ever made up for human loss?
