Tears That Are Over The Top

When will they ever stop

"Cry later"

Really

"Creating a crater"

Hardly

~

Tears are healing

"So"

"They leave me reeling"

I know

~

Do you know?

"No"

I miss you so

"Oh"

~

"Can you cry when I'm not here?"

I suppose

I was told to change chairs. Clear?

And I oppose!

~

"I like that idea! Please try it."

You shit

"Quit it"

You don't care one bit!

~

Enough tears

I will change my chair

"Cheers!"

Now, get lost hear!

~

"You don't mean that"

I do

"You are a spoiled brat"

And so are you

~

Now get the hell out of here!

You are not worth tears I fear

I know that I can look up and stop the tear

from falling, I will get another topic

to stop the tears, I can jeer

you make me sick

Never mind, you stay here

I am out of here Dear!
