tears from here

where i'm from
kids play outside
the woods are alive

the streets are calm
the people are not

the people are talking
all about walking
away or to

something new

it's a mismatched sky
looking down
clouds too big
to carry all the tears

tears from here
too many

so the angels
fill the houses
with leftover
sorrow

sorrow for no reason

where i'm from
no reason to cry
but we still do
don't know why
