Do these tears surprise you?
Do you fear me when emotion takes a hold of my soul?
After all these years that we have been through,
Can you not let me dwell in the memories of this inner hole?

I am afraid – yes,
I am lost, and will forever be, no matter the hours,
And perhaps this is a moment depressed
But please don’t scream, or attempt to make me smile these flowers.

For a machine I am not
I embrace the emotions given
And right now laughter is not served upon a silver platter
I reminisce rather the seconds I was the innocent maiden.

So when these tears fall
And you cannot comprehend
Understand it is not you
And in a while I will self-mend

Never can I be patched up completely
Never will my soul be satisfied
Never will my cheeks be completely rosy
And the tears will never stay dried.

But that is just me,
All I ask is for your love unconditionally…
