Tears

Can they hold true sadness or are they just a way to taunt you by showing
They may glisten and shine
But the truth behind them makes them so dark
They may look empty
But they hold a part of your being
Constricting saying you need to let go
But your mind doesn't want to
Can you truly believe they cleanse the body
when all you want to do is crawl into a ball
Tears leave stains and puffy eyes
and only make the person even more depressed
Do I need to dare explain
I hate tears
Yet they are needed
