Tears

I let the tears run down my face
Into my mouth, the flavor I taste
The salt and water leave a mark
Across and burned into my heart

These tears of guilt, of shame, of lies
Of sorrow, of anger, they fall from my eyes
Down across my saddened face
They fall in streaks down to their place

I do not wipe these tears away
For their story still, they have to say
Of why they sit here, causing pain
Taking a trip down Memory Lane

As these ripened tears slide down
I think of why that I must frown
My friends hurt me down to the bone
I regret the anger that I had shown

They forgive me but do they lie?
Are they waiting again to make me cry?
I do not think that that will occur
But to be honest, I cannot be sure

Not on purpose, I do say
But I will love them anyway
Whether scars stay on my heart
Or if just minute scratches leave their mark

I let the tears run down my face
Into my mouth, the flavor I taste
The salt and water leave a mark
Across and burned...into my heart
