I wrote a poem

[silver_raven]

In the sand, I drew a tear
Just one small tear
For all the fear
In my heart.

I drew the tear for my friends
For all the little drops I've never shed before
I drew it small and strong
Not because I was only a small bit sad
(Because my heart was full of large tears)
But because it was all I could give.

I drew the tear for the love
That sometimes I hope I never know
It's not that I don't want to feel -
It's that I fear losing myself completely
So I push away with the very words of love
I wish to hear in sincerity.

I drew the tear for the ache
That resides in my need to scream
To cry, to love and be loved
To find the shoulder offered
Not because it was "the right thing to do"
But because it was meant to be.

I drew the tear
Because that was all I could give,
It was all I could afford.
I'm so afraid of breaking.

You see me as a rock
You see me as a piece of granite
A shoulder to cry on, arms to comfort
And soothe.

I drew the tear
Because my heart is made of glass
And though my shoulders are strong
That little tear,
That little one drawn right there in the sand -
It was all I could do

To show you how much I cared.
