Tears are for the weak
That flow right from your soul
You let others move in
Not looking at the toll
Tears are for the weak
That crush your inner being
They turn you upside down
Without you even seeing
Tears are for the weak
They show your ability to love
You become confortable and relaxed
Then instantly shot down like a dove
Tears are for the weak
They will cut you like a knife
Feeling tattered and torn
Not wanting to finish life
Tears are for the weak
They make your spirit die
Twisting and turning
Only asking ... why?
Tears are for the weak
Believe in what I say
Hide them the best you can
Or you shall surely pay

Sorry I know alot will disagree with me here.  But I just got out of a relationship and this is how I feel at the moment!!

A friend, like a candle, is most needed in the darkness.

Very nicely done. I think many if not most who will read this will not respond with feelings of dissagreement, as we've been in this position, and I, for one, can totally relate to many times of feeling this exact way as a result of hurt and loss.
As your tears help purge and cleanse your soul, a newfound strength arises...
Likewise, I would like to point out the irony in your statements, for as I read this great write, I took it a different way. Tears are definitely for the weak, for it is our strength in perseverance that we weap for the weak of spirit who cause this pain to those of us that truly understand love. We cry for the weakness, for it is actually their loss in the end. Good luck, Dark Kisses. Thanks for sharing.

Yes , I agree .... it is their loss in the end.  And soon, very soon, they will see that.  Until then the tears shall stay hidden.  Tears open up my soul and that is not something I intend to do right now.
Thanks for the encouraging statements!

Tears are for the Weak
Those who haven’t hardened their hearts,
Those who believe in the good not the evil parts
Tears are for the Weak
Soft people that trust with all their being
Overlooks the bad in the ones they are seeing.
Tears are for…

. . . The compassionate.

True to a point, Gloom.  But what does compassion get you these days? More tears?  When does the cycle end? Or does it ever?
Just a thought,
Dark

In a way, I agree with you. When I'm hurt I don't let those who hurt me see me cry. But sometimes, tears will come no matter what. Very well written.

I guess it all depends on why we shed our tears!
