Where Are The Tears?


Where are the tears that my heart cried?
There are no tears for my soul has died
They ran down the gutters of my soul
They left me broken in pieces not whole
Gone all gone
Silence is my song
Falling
Calling
My heart has no tears left
It is bereft
Where are the tears?
Why are the fears?

Where are the traces that I held of you?
There are no traces for there is no true
They fled all and left this shell here
They deserted me and left lonely fear
Gone all gone
Despair is my song
Crying
Dying
My soul has no traces here
Only a tear
Where are the traces?
Why are loves laces?

Where are the words of love so true?
There are no words for there is no you
They have all of them gone departed
They left me sadly broken hearted
Gone all gone
Desolate is my song
Sighing
Crying
My soul has no words to say
Gone away
Where are the words?
Why aren’t they heard?

But love me for love's sake, that evermore
Thou mayst love on, through love's eternity

There's nothing like love lost to bring out the poet in all of us.  Very nice first post.  Welcome!  I enjoyed your style here, the way even the lay of the words related some of your feelings.  Look forward to more.

Where are the tears, very deeply within, a scar sometimes hidden isn't certainly a dread, open your heart, start again, and remember it's their loss, great poem and welcome to passions.
