Love Poem: Tears

Tears

I wipe away the tears so fast
So that no one can see
Cause I’m a man who takes a lot
Of Pride in my masculinity

To my family and friends
I’m a rock, a mountain, a hill
And to some I’m helping hand
to help make their storm stand still

They ask for advice from me
Because they know I care
Some times it makes a big difference
Just knowing there’s some one there

But no on knows how much I hurt
Because I never let be known
That the girl that I truly loves
Lives so far and I feel so alone

I count the seconds, the moments
The hours, and the long lonely days
When i can hold her and not let go
And tell her how I miss her in so many ways

I love her more than words can say
And I have never felt like this before
And sometimes when i miss her so much
My tear just falls to the floor

But I put on my poker face
When I see any one coming around
And just talk regular to the guys
Maybe bout cars or some old favorite song

But in my mind I keep hearing her voice
And my heart long to feel he touch
And every time I close my eyes
I see the face that I love so much

Some times I do need her so much
And I does just don’t know what to do
So I would just text her and say I love you
And try to keep my emotions subdue

And know it’s just a matter of time
Until our hearts will beat as one
And out of this sad lonely feelings
A new and happy life will be born
