Some of the places
In your eyes
Look like they've never stopped crying
And I don't want to stop them
From crying anymore
I want to stand next to you
And let you choose to
Bury your eyes in my bony shoulders
While my shirt gets warm with the tears
And deep gulps for air
I want to look, reassuring to
Some of the places
In your eyes
That shine a light so harsh with joy
That I smile when you are crying
And remind you how much better you feel
After a good, deep sob.
There are plenty of places to laugh
And reasons to cry
In this world
But I've only been to
Some of those places
And if only you would join me
I would ask only to laugh in your light
And wear your tears on my shoulders.
