Tears Are a Language

Every teardrop tells a story

As its running down our cheek

The sound it makes cannot be heard

For its voice is much too weak

Listen to a teardrop fall

But listen with your soul

The silent screams of broken hearts

Is a sound you can't console

Teardrops are a language

That's spoken from the heart

An endless stream of liquid pain

That hurts right from the start

Tears are often misunderstood

As a cleansing of the soul

But they leave scars that go unseen

When the pain begins to flow

Tears are filled with part of us

A part we try to hide

They can come from many places

To show what's hidden inside

Every teardrop tells a story

That most will never hear

For they don't understand the language

That's spoken by a tear

I love this. I can totally relate to the "But they leave scars that go unseen". This is really deep, yet relateable.

Beautiful and sad all at once, wonderful write

This is great Whiskurz. I may have to steal this and claim it for my own. tears/teardrops have an entire world all of their own.

Listen to a teardrop fall
But listen with your soul
The silent screams of broken hearts
Is a sound you can't console

This is my favorite verse. I have felt these emotions myself.

[Emerald Seas]

You write of silent sorrow with a masterful touch. Well penned poem, again.
