Let these tears

Let these tears

Let these tears soak my pillow
let them fall freely
until I have no more to shed
let my sadness drown me
keep on falling until I am dead

Let these tears sway your heart
that has so coldly ignored
that I also have a heart
like all this human hoard
I have a heart

Let these tears show you that I care
and I listen
let them show you all my flaws
look how they glisten
let them hide the perfections

Let these tears slow the pain
slowly but sure
drain away it all
as eyes blur
let it go.
