Tears Are Words The Heart Cannot Say Poem by tora keo

A heart cries because of a pain that's left it destroyed.
But when a heart cries out, there are no words, no voice.
There's no heard explanation - the vocal chords are stopped.
Simply, tears are every evidence of everything lost.

Boy, you choked my tongue, you made me silent.
And I felt an awful lump in my throat begin climbing.
Then came the flood of 'I love you's' & 'I hate you's, ' but,
All of this I said with my mouth sealed shut.

Salt filled vocabulary tumble down left and right,
Both cheeks raw & exhausted from this sorry plight.
And even though my heart can't form words in the right way,
Don't worry, it's covered, cos
Tears are words the heart cannot say.
