A Bottle Of Tears

This tear is for the wasted years

The next is for my childish fears

The last is for me being blue

But not a tear is shed for you

These tears I cried to close the door

I don't want you anymore

These tears are all that I have left

Thank God, they're not tears of regret

This tear I saved to mark the day

I knew my life was going to change

This one when I threw away

That old Ming vase you broke in rage

These tears of mine are shed with pride

I'm not ashamed of how I cried

Cause for every tear that fell I knew

That not a tear was shed for you

A teardrop is so much more than a mark of sadness.  Crying is good for so many things, to express happiness and sorrow, to let out frustrations, and to say goodbye.  Anyone who has never cried because of a broken heart, or with mourning could never understand how therapeutic a good solid cry can be.  Some evenings I will pick out a movie that makes me bawl just so I can have a good cry.  You sleep better after a good cry, you feel better about everything.  There is nothing more healing than a tear.
