Tears Unknown

Tears unknown, Tears grown. Tears that stream down my face, falling slowly out of place. Tears of memory, of a time spent. Tears of you, the person I never new. Tears of a man, who's hands, where empty for far too long. Tears of being alone. Tears of dinner, that we never ate together. Tears of shoes, that we never laced. Tears of a bike, that we never used. Tears of a boat, one we never float. Tears of fireflies, that we never caught. Tears of school clothes, that we never bought. Tears of a pool, that we never swam. Tears of not knowing, how I am. Tears of a man, who I never knew. Tears of a man, who never took me to school. Tears of a father... unknown.
