Tears

Tears sting my eyes
but I can never let 
you see me cry

Stand strong and still.
That's what I'll do. Make you
think I am everything without you.

You see me pass and
flash a smile
I haven't seen you in a while.

I wish you knew
that I would give my life...
Just to spend an eternity alone with you.

Way to stand by your decision. Stay strong. It's what's right.

i see you have a lot of hidden fear inside of you, possibly a fear that you dont want others to know you're hurting and that is very common. you want others to think you're strong and that you can hold your composure, when deep down, you want to let it out do me a favor? whenever you feel like this... just cry, tell him or her what you think, and how you feel. Be honest and open. Hiding your emotions wont do anything but tear you to pieces

No one can write this kind of poem and know what it feels like. It's good to know that there really IS some one who can put that much pain into something so magical.
