Tears

Tears of hope, tears of joy
Tears of sadness, tears of madness
There was an abundance
They fall like leaves in the autumn wind
Staining anything it falls on
Anything they touched is forever stained with feeling
Feeling that was too overwhelming to keep, so it flooded
Unfortunately, tears of sadness is the most overwhelming
Falling every so often, when will it end?
Tears of a broken heart, tears of pain
Tears of agony, tears of torture
It will never end
