Tears
are a sign.
A sign that something is very
wrong
and we need someone to come and make it
right.
A sign that we need
help.

So why
when the tears come
does nobody come to my rescue?
I sit and cry
and wait for the day
someone will come
to wipe the tears away.

He will come.
Born out of the white light,
His face young, His hair of gold, His eyes blue.
A friendly smile adds to His angelic face.
And I want to melt into His arms
as He heals my soul with His melodic voice.
He will come
and wipe the tears away.

Over ugly muffins and Taco Bell
I wait for Him
to come and wipe the tears away.
No such luck.
He does not come.
Am I a fool for believing?
I am but a prisioner to my own mind,
to my own world.

Our world
Is far less than perfect.
This is what brings the tears.
This is His world!
One he created!
Why would he make us
bring the tears
upon ourselves?

And one day,
He will come
and wipe the tears away.
Don't ask about the Taco Bell & ugly muffins.
I wrote this poem when I was very upset, & it took a very dramatic twist.

But i like it.

X) Yup, that's us. Sitting and waiting for the invisible sky-man to make sense of our lives for us.
