Tears of Red

my tears bleed
from too much need
why can’t you see
what you do to me
not too strange
nothing will change
and the gifts you gave
that my heart saved
the ones you can’t take back
given from things I lack
you know the ones you use
that we somehow excuse
now they stop
with dreams in pop
a good bye said
in tears of red

"...the rest is silence" (Hamlet)       Shakespeare

Ouch...a lot of pain emits from your words.  Very powerful and emotional write, Helen.  Nice work.  

All writing comes
by the grace of God.

Reasons, right or wrong, easy or hard...the heart bleeds.  If not, it would be easier to remain still and languish as we wither.
