“a Lonely Tear” Poem by Thomas E. Kelly Jr.

I’ve opened a space, for you in my heart
As we begin this journey, not far from the start
I’ve learned to love you, in a different way
My love grows stronger, with each passing day

To look in your eyes, and see your pain
Sends me to a place, I wish never to be again
I am a new person, this you must see
Open your heart, and fall in love with me

My love will not fade, it won’t cease with time
Don’t be afraid, let your feelings unwind
Take my hand, on this road to love
Let me lead you, to the place you dream of

Flowers and gifts, these are material signs
Real love lies, within the heart and mind
It takes a lot of work, to love someone
The things I’ve done so far, I’ve just begun

Set your mind free, don’t think of the past
Remember my love is here, and it will last
I love you more now, than I have before
I cry this lonely tear, for I know I’m sure
