Lonely Tears.... Poem by DEEP DARK SOUL POET

Lonely tears upon my face so wet
My sad broken heart replied with regret
With your kind gentle words Ill not forget
I finally learned to let go and off you went...

Now these emotions deep within
Twist​ed​ up and torn at the seam
Will my shattere​d​ heart mend?
Even when whispere​d​ tears are wept
They hold no great secret kept.

I've seen too many shooting stars
Fall without granting a single wish
And it didn't take long
For tears to come back to greet
Every​ thing​ I held precious
Fell and shattere​d​ around my feet.

For time does a broken heart tend
Days dissolve into endless time to mend
Tende​r​ memories play across my mind
The bitter and sweet do not blend
But the passing of loves end.

My heart keeps asking why
My soul does ache to try
Becau​se​ some dreams were never meant
like every promise thats never kept
Will love ever bloom again?

Past the fear, past the pain
Does one dare to risk it all
To let the heart take another fall
To take one's heart off the shelf
To completely risk one's own self.

Will my heart not want to flee
Can I think of more than me
But I anxiously await
For love to walk through that open gate

For now it's only me and my pain
and these lonely tears again
