Teardrops

If you saw my teardrops
Would you collect them like rain
Would you store them up neatly
labeled simply with “pain”
Would you follow their tracks
From my eyes down my cheeks
As they write down the stories
I’m too afraid to speak

If I showed you my teardrops
Would you show me your own
And learn though we’re lonely
We are never alone

Would you slow them with kisses
Bring their flow to a halt
As you teach me that pain
Isn’t always my fault
Would you hold my face gently
As you dry my eyes
And whisper those words
“You’re too precious to cry”

If I showed you my teardrops
Would you show me your own
And learn though we’re lonely
We are never alone

Melt all my teardrops….
I know you’ll understand
Melt all my teardrops….
Just the touch of your hand

If I showed you my teardrops
Would you show me your own
And learn though we’re lonely
We are never alone
