Tears

a poem by Leleena Subhadarshini

Tears my best pals so far
whenever I feel sad
whenever I feel lonely
they came to me to share
moments of tenderness
caring for me being unconditional.
I love them as they are for me only
I don’t know where are they
hiding in the corner of my tiny eyes
hiding themselves
from the hustle bustle of surrounding
But they are mine only I know
coz they’ve got a special affinity for me
they make me feel they’re with me
all the time even if I ignore them
they do care for me I know.
Whenever I feel low
they just brighten me
with their loving touches
wetting my cheeks
washing all the darkness
brightening my face
to prepare for a new day again!
