Tears

The tears are rolling down my face My hurt no longer concealed Remembering how, long ago it seems I had happiness I could feel The sobs escape my tightened throat My face becoming tearstained Feeling my heart break with every breath Breathing in more of my pain Forgotten, alone, and dying inside Unable to gain control Crying here, falling apart The light dimming inside my soul Lifting my face to darkened sky Pleading and praying to the night To ease my worries and lift my mood And try again to make things right Endless nights of memories That I don't want to recall Flooding my mind and urging my tears Hoping my life won't take further fall © KLLK 2004 *Author's Note: This poem was written during a period when I was really, really down for quite awhile.*
