Wash Away Tears

                             Wash Away Tears



         Pain has arisen, that I do see,
         Like a big ole' freight train ready to run over me.

         I've dealt with the hardships that do come in life,
         They cut at my heart like a hot burning knife.

         These tears I have shed were caused only by you,
         The feelings I've felt were one's that you knew.

         Together we were one; or at least that's what I thought.
         I deeply regret the times that we fought.

         Why do we always have to deal with the pain,
         That's a result of the way that you play the game?

         Tears and more tears are coming from within,
         From the times that we shared; the times that have been.

         But something can be salvaged from all of this mess.
         The girl I once loved, and not anything less.

         The beautiful horse that I had once tamed,
         But then ran away, leaving tears all the same.

         So why have I cried all of these years?
         Cause I've been trying to wash; wash away tears.
