Tears Poem by Mariann Gentile

Why can't you see me
Right here in front you
Screaming, Crying
Praying you will notice me
You walk on by
I'm left alone
You are not here beside me
You do not know
You do not notice
You never see
...these tears

Why am I doomed to always be
Invisible in your eyes
Please open your eyes
See me
Noticed me
Show me that you care
Don't leave me here
Come to save me from myself
For I will surely drown
...in these tears

Please find me
See me
Hold my hand
Don't let me face this world alone
Show me that I'm visible
Prove that you can see me
Stay by my side
Hold me close
And help me dry
...these tears

Until the day you find me
I still remain alone
Invisible to all
Unseen, unloved
I do not blame you
I blame the world
It has blinded your eyes to me
Until the walls collapse around us
Until you finally see me
I will always shed for you
...these tears
