The Weight of Tears

I see your heart when you hold out a piece of tissue,
some sort of condolence to acknowledge and respond 
to moments that cannot be brushed aside 

Friend, allow me to refrain from grasping unto what you offer 
Allow me to pause and feel the weight of rolling tears - 
this one moment when what I am feeling inside 
decidedly expresses itself to you.
