Ode to my Tears

--- A poem I wrote awhile back for a friend very close to me. I showed it to her, but never with the intention of her knowing it was about her. Our relationship has grown even further since I last wrote this, so some situations may not apply any longer, but it is still true nonetheless. 

An ode to the tears I cry

That are not my own

But invade my eyes bountifully

Jarred open with time

Her's flowed into mine

And I accepted them all willingly

I've not yet seen her tears

She claims that she has none

Bt I've cried them myself numerously

If not for the tears

I wouldn't be able

To hold her into life as se sleeps

She shrugs his hurt off

But I hold her still

In my arms she silently weeps

She tells me she's fine

But I feel no better

So she must be lying to me
