If Teardrops Never Fell (Monchielle)

If teardrops never fell Your words would still cut deep It'd be a different place For when it hurt me then No tears would drench my face If teardrops never fell My eyes would not tell tale The pillowcase would dry Would I feel better then If I could never cry If teardrops never fell I'd lose my sweet release Kept bottled up inside Angst would overcome me If all teardrops were dried If teardrops never fell I'd take my place instead In the arms of sorrow To drown in my regret Wishing for tomorrow If teardrops never fell I'd never speak my peace My heart could never mourn Or say a sad goodbye If tears were never born The Monchielle The Monchielle is a poem that consists of four five-line stanzas where the FIRST LINE repeats in each verse.
