tears
artwork by Simeon Walker
i want to cry for you
in the loneliness of this night
for all the pain you have suffered
i want to take it away
and make it mine
so i can hold it close to my heart
and let it incubate and grow
into something wonderful
the child of your woe
it will soon become mine
and i will nurture it
until it becomes a strong force between us
i want to cry for me
in the togetherness of this night
for all the pain i have suffered
i want you to take it away
and make it yours
so i can rest my head on your shoulder
and let the tears burn through your body
and collect somewhere in your interior
where you can use them to water the withering love
you have for humanity
let that flower bloom and grow
into something wonderful
the blossom of my woe
it will soon become yours
and you will tend to it
until it becomes a stronger force between us
i want to cry for us
in the isolation of this night
for all the pain we have suffered
i want god to take it away
and make it his
so we can look up to him with wonder
as he coddles the pain
and uses his magic to transform it
into something wonderful
the mystery of our woe
it will soon become his
he will conjure it
until it becomes the strongest force between us
the lessons that we learn from eachother
in the oneness of this night
will bind us together
always
