A tear's purpose is to mend
A tear is a gentle friend
It's blood from your soul's veins
They comfort in pain
Hardened hearts, clinched eyes
Smother the tender cries
from the child forever within
chained beneath cold blood and skin
Warmth streams down the salty stain
Dousing that inner flame
that blackened mental skies
erupting from a flame of pride
Just as rain lifts a flower from gravity strong
Your tears are not weak nor wrong.
There is nothing as tender or precious as the tears of a calloused heart.
