The Tears Speak

Fair lady, why do you weep so?

It's night and you should be sleep, though.

Your mind is starting to creep, though,

digging into places so deep, so

you let loose with our torrent -

Others can be so ignorant

is what you're thinking;

they have no idea, no inkling

of the tears you hold black, blinking,

while your emotions are downward sinking.

There, there, our lady fair,

cry it out, get some air,

throw some dishes, if you dare,

then fall into a blank stare,

tucking us back away,

to come again some other day,

another time, we'll return to play,

but we hope not soon, we pray.
