Analysis of Tears
No sorrow for yourself yet I
Do shed my tears for you
Each time you feel life's pain and sigh,
Unsure of what to do.
I know I've said all this before
Which might turn you away,
To hear those words from me once more
Of how I feel today.
It might be pride that you feel now,
Despite how much I care.
Please try to understand just how
Much life I want to share!
