For Lea and her Tia M

Do Tears Run Red?

When your heart is broken with heavy woes, words unsaid, hugs and what ifs,

As it’s torn in two so suddenly with snags and crevices deep,

It erupts, fast and hot, lava spilling from your eyes,

Even raining, do people see the tears running red?

They stain the soul with sorrow and memories,

Good and bad, pictures that bring smiles and pain,

Time will wash the outside residue from your face,

Erase the traces of the salt trails that outsiders seem to forget.

Your true friends will remember that tears stain red your soul.

They'll remember how tears burned their way and how they'll never dry

They'll supply the endless demand for hugs and never give a second thought

Your friends will wear red, so when you cry on their shoulder, your tears will become a part of them.

Your tears won't be a stain; they will be a welcomed addition of a friendship, part of your shared history and life.
