Everyday Tear

Everyday Tear

February 6th, 2010

What’s lost isn’t always gone.

What’s found isn’t always there.

But what you can depend upon

Is I’ll always care.

I’ll always love and cherish,

You can be sure of that.

What you don’t know, however,

Is this simple fact.

I know more than you

Give me credit for.

I can hug you tighter

Than a wave on the longest shore.

Nightmares never sleep and

This is one we won’t wake from.

But we won’t only weep

For sorrow can come undone.

We can leave it all behind.

Drag with us only what matters.

Keep those thoughts in our heads,

That keep us from crying out quiet.

For crying out loud

Is not our style.

And crying out loud

Is for once in a while.

Yet our everyday tear

Is silent, quiet.

Our everyday tear is

A feather in the wind.

Yes my dear, come close

And you shall see

The invisible everyday tear

Shed by you and me.
