I've watched days stumble past - Not bothering or risking a second glance. Like the dead who don't know they've risen again, They mean nothing even to themselves. My dog is Pain - goes wherever go I - A constant presence who loves to bite. His coat is dirty, rough and sparse, Unpleasant to touch, but familiar at heart.

Suicide is the #8 cause of death in the US, higher than homicide. I hope the Warrens can find some pea...

It is so appropriate that the word tears can be pronounced as 'teers' or 'tares'. The first refers to the drops or streams that flow from our eyes when we hurt. The second refers to a rending of something, such as a heart or dream torn to bits. "I shed tears because of the tears in my heart," then, would be a correct sentence.
