No More Teardrops On My Face

I don’t want another teardrop on my face,
I don’t want to feel like I’m out of place.
Not knowing what is in store, 
But I’m always thinking about you more and more.
What is this world coming to?
Will there ever be a real me & you?

Lying awake on my bed,
Feelin’ like the universe is inside my head.
Having a million things or two
To think about that involves you.
I’m debating internally,
On whether or not you’re the right one for me.

I don’t want another teardrop on my face,
I don’t want you to leave my heart in last place.
To think that we would no longer be,
Puts my heart in so much misery.

I don’t think you know how much I love you,
Even after all that we’ve been through.
You’d think it would be destiny,
Even though we’ve been through so much scrutiny.

Please, no more teardrops on my face,
I can't stand feeling like I'm in an emotional race.
No more, no more,
I don't want to be in an emotional war.
No more, no more,
It's bad enough a feel this sore.

great right and was very emotional as i have read about 7 or 8 of your poems ad they all have that qaulity of raw emotion, you know the way you feel when you are watching a sad movie and then you begin to cry, thats what your poetry does to the reader and that is talent.=)jo
