Tears

I come when pain
Becomes too much to take.
I come when you're sad,
Or your heart starts to break. 
I might come when you panic,
I might come when you're mad.
I'll show up here and there,
When enough is what you've had.

I'm salty and warm,
I might be big or small. 
Sometimes when you're strong,
I don't come up at all. 
I fill your eyes with moisture; 
I roll down your cheek. 
Sometimes I mean joyous,
Sometimes I mean weak. 

Sometimes when you're scared,
I come as a sign of fear.
You can feel when I'm coming,
Whether far or near. 
I may come along
When you hear your favourite song.
Sometimes I show up
When you've been strong for too long. 

I know you want to fly away.
I know inside you're a mess.
You long for a brighter day.
Tears are words the heart can't express
