A tear, if it holds enough hurt,
A tear, if it holds enough pain,
A tear, if it holds cold blood
A tear, an all powerful tear, Written By: Anthony AJ Jackson
Can drown ambition and drive
And grind down self-worth
For which we strive.
Can chill, forcasting the loss
Of all we hope to gain
From the heart's heat and frost.
Fallen from pale, bold wrists,
Can unleash fierce floods
Out of Melancholy's mists.
Can summon sadness's salty others
To soak all who fear;
Us, our sisters and saddened brothers.
