If my tears could talk, <br />What would they display? <br />Thousands of words, <br />Not difficult to say <br /> <br />They'd whisper, 'I'm Sorry! ' <br />When I am wrong and you are right. <br />They'd scream, 'I'm Scared! ' <br />When I'm all alone in the middle of the night <br /> <br />They do talk, <br />But they reveal too much <br />They're not hidden <br />Just wiped away by your gentle touch. <br /> <br />They'd exclaim, 'I'm Happy! ' <br />Whenever you're around <br />They'd sigh, 'I'm sad! ' <br />When I'm feeling down. <br /> <br />They do talk <br />Won't you listen? <br />You just might find <br />What you've been missin'! <br /> <br />They'd reply, 'I'm lonely' <br />When I'm thinking about you. <br />Is it too late for you to see <br />That my tears cry out, 'I love You! ' <br /> <br />They do talk <br />But you can't hear <br />A single word they'd say. <br />If only you could read a tear <br />Instead of wiping it away.<br /><br />Ashlee Kilbourn<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/if-tears-could-talk-2/
