My Soul Cries With You Poem by Daleen Enslinstrydom

When your eyes overflow with tears
and you do question everything to why and what
I realise that you want to turn around,
that you want to break free
and that you want to free yourself from me.

To break free may sometimes mean freedom
but sometimes it means entanglement
in reproaching walls that want to keep you in
and you are bound by promises to stay.

When your eyes overflow with tears,
when life has lost its meaning
and everything seems to be lost;
I want to hold you hold you close to my heart
and I want to ensure you
that tomorrow will be a better day.

With every dawn new hope arises,
although tears are streaming down your face
and although everything seems to be in vain
I do share your feelings,
my eyes do see your pain
and my soul cries with you
because I do love you so.
