Love Poem: Tears

Tears

Tears
~~~~~~
The tears that I've shed over love that was lost,
I consider the gain and think of the cost
When I'm lying in bed and the memories roam free,
I wonder if anyone has a true tear for me
At this thought that is passing my tear river flows,
And if my feelings are acknowledged it never shows
Sometimes I feel that love is just tears,
It inhibits my beauty and enhances my fears
It's like a cruel and vicious cycle that’s never complete,
And it's sometimes like grapes which are bitter and sweet
I know that it's life and that love isn’t kind,
But it's that sort of insight that preys on my mind
Then I look to the mirror eyes swollen and red,
As I ponder the number of tears that I've shed
With my head on my pillow thoughts passively slow,
I wonder aloud; "From here where do I go?"
An answer is not long in coming for me it will never last I know,
And as I turn on my side the tears start to flow
Did she really mean to crush me and then rip out my heart?
I was caring and giving to my queen from the start
I loved her with all my soul but I guess I'll never know why
But time can heal all and my tears soon will run dry.
