morning musings

t e a r s t e a r s

tears tears go away
why must you come back almost every day
you remind me of my pain
you remind me of my past
why can't you go away
just let this happiness last

tears tears flowing so fast
you're telling the story of a child in the past
she's stuck with the memory of what has just happened
praying to god, one day she won't be broken

the bruises, the scars
the ones that will never heal
she grew up thinking that's how you need to feel

this little girl 
not sure about life
cut after cut 
then took her life

tears tears come as she leaves this world
"so young, so happy" for all they know
beaten as a child
not loved all her life
backstabbing friends

oh wait that's my life.
