A World Without Tears by Lucinda Williams
If we lived in a world without tears
how would bruises find
the face to lie upon?
How would scars find skin
to etch themselves into?
How would broken find the bone?
If we lived in a world without tears
how would heartbeats know
when to stop?
How would blood know
which body to pull us out of?
How would bullets find the guns?
If we lived in a world without tears
how would misery know
which back door to walk through?
How would trouble know
which mind to live inside of?
How would sorrow find a home?
