Cleansed In Your Tears Poem by Sven Rhoads

A broken heart is a burden long in my past
A painful reminder of what's not built to last
A fool in cardiac arrest
As it starts to rain again
The castle in the clouds now disappears
You learn the hard way, cleansed in your tears
Eyes filled with sorrow
Now completely carved out

We need to let go of the failed design
Learning a lesson with wisdom divine
A bond that's made with gold
Now shatters like glass
We watched loves flame turn into smoke
At a loss for words all caught in the throat
What's built forever
Must face the truth

I need your love, I need your touch
The only drug to keep me going
You need my love, you need my touch
The only way you can stand alone
I need your heart, I need your smile
The shadows are seeping through
You need my heart, you need my smile
But our tears have smothered our flame

We need to let it all go
We are a failed design
All words caught in our throats
Turn to poison in our minds
