My Gallery Of Tears

I see you had nothing better to do And decided to come for the tour, Then please, do come in, and you will see Just how much pain one heart can endure Before we begin, I just want to say For our tears, we must never feel shame; Rather, let envy flare up toward those Whose hearts were never burned by Love's flame! Throughout the years, I've had to add more rooms As my collection of sad tears grew; This dark room holds Tears of Loneliness - They have stained the walls a somber hue As you can see, the labels are varied: Tears When He left, Tears of Missing Him, Tears From Nights I Prayed He Would Return, Tears When I Remember Kissing Him And here in this back room are all the tears That were cried with intense, searing pain When I found the courage to admit He would not be coming back again In this little room are assorted tears - - Tears of Forgiveness, Tears of Regret; Strange! Among my tears I've yet to find One that ever helped me to forget And in this room are the Tears of Pity Friends have donated over the years; Sometimes I come here seeking comfort, But friends have moved on - now no one hears I seem to have misplaced my Tears of Joy, A box so small, I tend to lose it, But I don't care, it just collects dust, Seldom, if ever, do I use it And with this concludes our tour for today. When you've nothing to do, please feel free To come again, perhaps with a friend...... New tears are added regularly
