Tears forming trails of pain.
Falling as they stain.
Refilling when she begins to fear.
Oh of these trails of tears.

Only a few truly know.
When weak verily it shall show.
To most, she’s strong, A leader among her peers.
But Oh of these trails of tears.

First, they sprinkle like rain.
Then falling like a torrential downpour.
Deriving from memories of purest pain.
Taken place so many years before.

Steady she stands.
Like a delicate rose.
In a flooding storm.
Feeling each drop as it lands.
Adding to these defensive thorns.

Just as thorns protect the rose,
She’ll never truly trust again.
Not like before,

These Trails of Tears.
