The burning tears run down my face
I cry knowing that it's pointless
These wasted tears
Just fall right out
Everytime I get pushed down
And thrown around
After I get back up
I'm sweeped off my feet
First by love
It burns with as much intensity as pain
But it lulls everything into action
It makes me smile
When things are rough
Second by fear
It lurks in the shadows
Waiting till it's quiet
To rear its ugly head
Then it conceals
Third by pain
It throbs inside my head
It throws me into places
It leaves me ruined
And broken and alone
Finally by realization
I realize that my story's just a piece
Just a piece of the puzzle
The puzzle that creates us
The us that loves, fears,hurts, and carries on
I realize that this cycle is the way
That mankind thrives
It's the way we're human
It's the way we're individually "me"
These burning tears collect
Collect memories for the future
Those terrible words collect
Collect to reemerge a new life
A new something to live with.
