Tears

How is this possible?
This flowing water.
How is this possible?
As my sobs grow softer.

What is this thing?
It's salty and wet.
What is this thing?
I can't seem to stop yet.

Who makes this stuff?
It's coming from me.
Who makes this stuff?
I feel so free.

Where does it come from?
As it streams down my face.
Where does it come from?
It's like a race.

When did this happen?
It feels as if I'm going to die.
When did this happen?
As I hunch over and cry.
