drops of tears

i don't want to know
not even one little one
the secrets of the ones
that i have close

only they can take me down
throw me from the highest cliffs
make me sink to the deepest of oceans

don't give me all your tears
i would need to gather them
in a bucket
to be hidden

you will never come back

and if you do
you'll never find
what you're looking for
the tears will be forgotten
no self-esteem in one tear to many

to remain my friend
the tears will in the sun
be laid - they will be dried

together we will laugh
again - and again - and even more
so that our tears

make a new ocean
