Don't allow that precious dropp to cling in your cheeks, <br />It lessens your beauty, I swear, <br />You look so beautiful <br />With that inexpensive ornament of a smile... <br />Why don't you simply try, yourself, in front of the mirror? <br />You will mark the difference... <br /> <br />By the way..... <br />Why do you waste the jewels of the eye <br />For the people who hurt you? <br />Please ask yourself- <br />Do they deserve that? <br /> <br />Frankly, my heart crumbles <br />Like a monument made in sands... <br />When I see your wilted countenance, <br />Your watery eyes, your glistening cheeks! <br /> <br />Please promise me <br />That you won't waste those gems <br />For petty issues. <br />The drops look so beautiful when you keep them hidden <br />Amid the deep ocean of your eyes... <br />Won't you hear my little request? ? ?<br /><br />Debasish Mishra<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/adieu-to-tears/
