A Heart That Cries Poem by Collette Y Anderson Williams

For so long my heart ached.
The emotions I tried to hide
Only because of the fear
Of losing myself in you -
While my heart cries.

Talking to the wind
Expecting some reassuring response.
My heart whispers softly
That I should take a step further -
Though my heart cries.

Your heart speaks, I know,
But what it says is your secret.
You often hide your eyes
Whose words utter such sweet language -
For this, my heart cries.

I pray thee, let me in
So that I may share what's within.
My lips search for words from my heart
To tell you it's alright to be afraid -
Only then you'll believe that my heart cries.
