Hope

'This will all end in tears' is a cliche..(I say it almost daily to my boisterous grandkids), but the next line gives the words a new twist. Perhaps, as Todd suggests, this little area of your verse needs a tweak, though.... I can see now that 'good' is a rather vague, catch-all word.

This will all end in tears, I promise
perfect ones (tears?)
bitter-salt to map the planes of our faces

I think Todd's suggestion for the last few lines is excellent. It tightens up the ending beautifully, but the words are still yours.
