Cuddling up with my teddy bear in hand
Reaching for another Kleenex tissue
Yawning the sleep from my eyes
I always find these tears at the worst of times
Noticing the tears only come at night
Giving up for the ones I love.

Understanding never helps this one stupid problem
Never letting the pain wash away in tears I didn't choose to cry
Keeping back the tears from everyone's sight
No one any the wiser to my problems and pains
Only the escape of my dreams to keep me sane.
Windows to another world opening at my command
Nothing else ever getting through.

Tattered and ripped pieces of my soul
Eating away my innocence and purity
Asking myself why I let these things happen to me
Running in circles to find a way around these tears
Searching to only find the truth.

Oblivious to everyone around me
Fearing for my life; to be completely sane again, only a wish

Pieces of my life locked away, the tears are to blame for that
Always putting on a fake smile while crying inside
I never wanted my life to end up like this, though it has...
Never did I understand that these tears will always be a portal to an unknown world of pain and suffering.
