“Tears”

Tears falling
Like rain from my eyes
Why must I keep this disguise?
Why did you have to leave me?

Tears fall
Echoing upon the emptiness of my soul
Nothingness bares much weight
Which hurts my heart to hold

Tears falling
Crashing upon the pieces of my broken heart
Mixing with regrets of feeling never shared
I  flood with feelings with in each single tear

Tears fall
Upon my hand
The hand that once held yours
Now empty, with nothing to hold on to

Tears falling
Upon your photograph
Remembering how  we  used to be
What I would do if I could only change the past

Tears fall
They fall in endless streams
For the pain and the memory
Of the one I love



It's too bad I'm not as wonderful a person as people say I am, because the world could use a few people like that.

I've learned that even when you

Well done! Hey wow I really liked this poem. The ending was great!!!

I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I'm in love with my shadow
I admire it daily

Beautiful poem, LoneWolf.  I enjoyed this quite a lot.. a lot of emotion portrayed here.  My fav stanza:
"Tears fall
Echoing upon the emptiness of my soul
Nothingness bares much weight
Which hurts my heart to hold"
Such beautiful thoughts..
I relaly like the repitition.  Each time "Tears fall" was used, it seems to get more powerful.  Nice work.

Very nicely written!  I like the variation you used in the first lines of each stanza, exchanging between "fall" and "falling."  It allowed a real bay of possibilities for what you described in each stanza.  
You pulled this off very well!
