Unopened Tears
I can see
That you have hid them with guile
Placed them behind
A pasted on smile
Somewhere down deep inside all the while
You’ve locked them away with a key
Hoping some day
They will set themselves free
I can see
Locked far deep inside
Within the far corners
Of both of your eyes
Between the bravados
And soft saddening sighs
In a place where you’ve driven your fears
Are lakes, and oceans and rivers
Of unopened tears
