Crystal Tears

Slick with water, black as smoke.
The pounding rain brings little hope.
Pounding headaches, Thudding heart,
Everything horribly wrong, my world's falling apart.
Weeping soul, shoes slapping the ground,
The world is stopped, silence all around.
The lights flicker off, look behind you, now!
You feel someone's there, but the question is how?
You had run from that place, so far, so fast.
No one would ever follow you. You thought you were alone at last.
But you can hear them, and your heart's beating so loud.
You try to stop the sobbing, you try not to make a sound.
But the crystal tears still brim over your eyes.
You cannot hid them, to long have you lied
You feel them behind you, and the tears fall harder yet.
They spin you around, you see who it is and you hug them around the neck.
And he just holds you and whispers, "It's all gonna be all right."
You know it won't be, but who knows? Maybe you'll finally have a peaceful night.
When you finally stop crying, he hugs you and kisses away your tears.
He looks you in the eye and you see it. The love you've needed for years.
His gentle hands trace your face, every single line.
He gently says, "When tears roll down your face, I swear a part of me dies."
And so you stop those crystal tears from pouring down your face.
Your heart beat returns to normal, his beat matching yours, pace for pace.
