I Will Cry For You


I will
cry for you
tears you
can not weep
for the hurt
and the nothingness
for dreams
you dropped
along the way
and touches
you need
for the hole
to mend
for the salt
to stop
rough edges melt
to smooth
so sleep
will be a friend
for I can do
nothing more
than cry for you

Oh Helen...now you've gone and made me all teary eyed! I feel this and am saving it~

Hugs,

Intellectually I know that Canada is no better than any other country. Emotionally I KNOW that Canada is the best country in the world!

achingly beautiful, better words escape me

Very cleanly done. Nothing wasted; nothing spared.  Thank you for sharing this.

Things like this make me want to go out and howl at the moon -- yes, to express, but mainly just to make it official about men.
