Tear Stained

Unknown date-college

I wrote this about a boy I had a huge crush on. He knew how I felt, and I knew he didn’t feel the same. We were having another conversation about where we each stood when I cried in front of him for the first time. My feelings ran deep and he was indifferent to me.

Never wanted you to see

Never wanted you to know

Never wanted those defenses to fall

Never wanted to break down

Just wanted you to think

I could handle it all

Just wanted you to believe

That I would never fall

But the truth came pouring out

With every single tear

Now you see the pain

I’ve been trying to hide

All this time and

The truth glistening

In my tear-stained eyes
