You Bring Tears Poem by R. K. Hart

You bring tears that cause loving eyes to sting,
Once with my joyful girl, my heart could sing.
My eyes once had a sweet melody that grew,
Now salty tears fill where once was beauty’s view.

Where songs were sung in the heart,
You placed tears that practice the black art.
You cause me to hurt beyond repair,
As we fall in life’s hurt and hurts snare.

Tears fill my vision and I have a heart that cries,
When darkened heart replaces sunshine in your eyes.
I willing battle to return your eyes to sapphires,
My pledge, ready to protect you and fight your fires.
