Treacherous Tears
Treacherous Tears
These tear tracks through make up
Give me away
Red rimmed eyes and rosy nose
Say, " I'm not okay"...
But if you see me like this
Try not to look too close
I'm concealing secrets
I'd rather you not know
And if you give me
a sympathetic smile
My thin "I'm ok"mask
will crack and then I'll
Lose this bloody fight
with these treacherous tears
Wet sorrow will dissolve me
And I will disappear.
