What is a tear to you?
The pain of not knowing,
The pain of being hurt.
Life is heavy weighing,
And I am so weak.
In all this despair
A single tear escapes my eye.
And I think, what is that?
What is that tear to you?
Does it have meaning?
Is it the combined pain
pooling and leaking out?
Sometimes life gets to me.
And I just have to wonder
What is a tear to you?

I agree. Very lovely. To me crying has always seemed a sign of weakness in me but I don’t really know anymore.
lovely poem
I couldn’t ever cry much. When I was young it was because of physical or emotional pain. By the time I was 12 it was just physical pain. Now I never cry. I cried when my mom died 10 years ago. That was the last time.
i tear is my body peeing from the wrong end :)

oohhh you lol *tears on fire to put him*
That’s lovely.
I think tears are exactly as you say, a method of relieving all the combined pain/stress within one’s body. I don’t think they show weakness as has become the stereotyped perception especially when men cry; they’re simply one of the body’s ways of dealing with pressure/stress/pain.
Very nice:)
It depends on what the tears are from.
I don’t like them..they age me.
Tears to me are when emotion builds to the point of leaking, whether it’s sadness or joy, sometimes it overflows..
Nice :-) a tear to me is the same as Mitzy put it.shed for renewal and able to be shared
I wish I could wipe away your tears.
Nice :) A tear it could be happiness or pain depends on how/where/what we are :)
Tears make me sad. Tears make me mad, tears mean i will miss you, and I’m sorry,tears mean please don’t leave or its. So hard to go, tears mean let’s make it right, tear mean i miss my family;
