i'm glad i can see the sadness
in your eyes
i take pride in my ability
to sympathize

but our tears
follow different paths
down different faces.

i know the trail your tears take.
I've walked upon your fleshy mantle.
and when the rain fell
I took cover under your eye lids

look at me, i'll look at you
there's nothing i would rather do
than pet your hair and gently coo
away the colors turning blue
