Tears

Tears...why do you always fill my eyes,
And eternally come out?
Why am I sad beneath your touch,
With a heart-ache...and a doubt?

Tears...when will you go away to stay,
And leave me for a while?
Why can't the feeling in my heart,
Be fashioned...into a smile?

Tears...why do you drown me deep inside,
Let joyous times come and endure.
Let the arms of my darling enfold me,
For he is my only cure.
