Tears, Blood, & Smiles

My tears are for you, yes for you.
For you because, you hurt inside.
For you because, you seldom smile.

My blood is for you, yes for you.
For you because, your pain cut me.
Your pain impacts me.

This smile is for you, yes for you.
For you because, I need to bleed no more.
For you because, I need to bleed no more.

I need you to smile for me, yes for me.
For me because, I cried for you.
For me because, I bled for you.

WE need to smile.
Smile because, we've cried enough.
Smile because, we've bled enough.
Smile because, our pain is gone.
