Tears

Oh tear, oh tears
Why do you love me?
Can’t you divorce me? 
To give me a new beginning

Oh tears, oh tears
Why did you hide my handkerchief?
Can’t you wipe my face?
To make me smile again

Oh tears, oh tears
Why are you searching for me?
Can’t you leave me alone?
To move forward in life

Oh tears, oh tears
Why did you place a roadblock?
Can’t you leave the bridge?
To make me cross over

Oh tears, oh tears
Why did you put me in prison?
Can’t you allow me see the light
To fulfill my destiny

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
