My tears aren't replacing you
They want to hold you in their arms
As they are blinding me with an eternal sadness
I can't forget that night
It's on repeat
While I close my eyes at the end of the day
My tears hold me like a mother
But they can't embrace tighter
As I don't feel their hold
However, they keep comin'
My tears hold me like a mother...... magnificent.... thank u... LeeAnn..
LeeAnn, this poem, along with all of your work, captures the essence of a truly empathic soul. To express loss and depression so clearly, and so succinctly, is indeed a true sign of a great poetess. Kudos to you, poetess friend!
Magnificently composed! .. Endless 10'S And Stars! ..++++++++++++++++++++++++
I feel myself choking up while reading this poem, LeeAnn. You captured this human emotion perfectly.
Those opening lines are stunning! The rest of the poem flows naturally like a river to the ocean. Tears are what we have when there's knowone left to hold
