Your Tear's Reflection

I've often wondered why you cry
Why are you always sad?
What's the reason for your tears,
What makes you feel so bad?

Your pillow case is always stained
Your tears are on your sleeve
Has someone near you passed away,
The reason why you grieve?

An unseen pain you hide away,
Something I can't see?
Did your best friend just walk away,
What could it possibly be?

Tell me why you feel this way
Help me ease your pain
Is it something that's too hard to say,
Something you can't explain?

I see the way you look at me
Each time I'm standing near
Now I know who makes you cry
My reflection's in your tear

So moving, Larry. A well deserved first-place win! You made C.L.'s day by leaving a comment on his poem. His talent goes largely unnoticed because he only returns comments he receives. Thanks for making his day brighter! Congratulations, Carolyn
