A tear can hold a memory,
A thousand times its size,
A tear can hold betrayal:
Show the truth behind the lies.
A tear can tell a story:
A tale of secrets spread,
A tear can mark that disposition,
And mask or show the dread.
A tear can be betraying,
Emotions you want to hide,
A tear can be the undoing,
Never for us to decide.
A tear can tell a lot in silence,
Or in sobbing gasps,
But one thing tears will never do:
Is be within our grasps.
