Tears

This was written around March of '04, during my freshman year of high school. I still remember the feelings I had when I wrote it, and who I wrote it about.

I see you crying now
I never thought that could be true
You were the strongest
Still are

Now I realize my tears
Are yours too
Hating to see you like this
Knowing it's my fault

Please stop crying
My guilt only increasing
Never did I know that your tears
Weren't meant for me

I can't bare
To see you like this
I know I caused this
That you want a share of the pain

Those tears, that stare, STOP
I can't take anymore
My guilt, uncomprehending care
Those tears shouldn't be there

Shouldn't see you upset
Tears tell all
Painful stares too
I need you

Don't leave me now
Don't go, please

I can't be left
With just tears
