My Bitter Tears Like Pearls
My bitter tears like pearls conceived in pain
Frustration underlying a flailing, sad descent,
Down, downward falling to such a dark abyss
Where hurt and sorrow soon will commiserate.
Did you not see the anguish of my aching heart?
Loss which triggers emotions I so carefully conceal
And take from me every bit of strength I possess,
To make a better life for myself despite your gall.
And I believe that time will come to rescue me,
Take me to that higher plane of heavenly I seek
My bitter tears will dry up, like they never were,
I shall love again, I vow, and taste new tears of joy.
