Tears

When my mother denied me a robot car, when I went cycling to the end far,
when I felt hungry as a child, when I was hurt wandering in the wild,
when my teacher said I was bad, when I forgot to take my exam pad,
every time you were there, on my cheeks none to spare.

When I forgot to do my homework, when my room could no longer perk,
when my hero Rex would no more sniff, when I want to jump off that lonely cliff,
when I don't get the best in a test, when I don't get the perfect rest,
you tears well up my eyes again, you flood with anger diluted in pain.

When my crush crushed my little letter, when I know there's someone better,
when I read an emotional tale, when my laziness costs me the sale,
when my dad dwarfs me for Swat kats, when I miss my sister's pats,
there you lump in my throat, never moving like a sailless boat.

There is a I whence I knew, since did I know I hate you.
You come you teach me as I fail, why don't you freeze as if a hail.
You turn my shiny eyes red, you are ready as truth is to be said,
O tears please listen to me, don't make me a weak one to be.

Even today I tried to wash you off with water, but you were bound to make my cheeks hotter,
I was the one to say it as a poet, that tears and smiles make the life's duet,
but tears tears go away, let me have a content day,
tears tears go away, as in my bed I do lay.
