The Seventh Tear Poem by Matthew Holloway

I’m in love presently
It kind of feels right
Suits me well, so I’m told
Think I’ll try and stay this way

In the past I’ve known heartbreak
It hurt like I’d never wish to feel
I cried through days and weeks
Wishing only for it to end

It was on a Wednesday
Cloudy skies and cold wind
I cried my seventh tear
Told myself I’m half way through
I’m moving on now

It’s a lesson learnt
Or so I like to tell myself
We can cry its alright
Then we just move on
Somehow and someway

I’ve hurt and cried
Known heartbreak
Now here I am
In love again
