Tears
My tears now belong to me
They are too delicate to pass around
Too personal to bare to you
I do not trust you with them
To love with tenderness and care
Appreciate that soulful gift
Willingly, I gave them
Willingly, you smashed them
So, willingly now, I take them back
Back inside my soul
Locked inside again forever
To play with the darkness
Until you find another way to pick the lock
They are too delicate to pass around
Too personal to bare to you
I do not trust you with them
To love with tenderness and care
Appreciate that soulful gift
Willingly, I gave them
Willingly, you smashed them
So, willingly now, I take them back
Back inside my soul
Locked inside again forever
To play with the darkness
Until you find another way to pick the lock
