If I think about it
                      For too long
                      Or too deeply
Diamond-drops of tears
Unravel themselves
Down my cheeks
Looking for the entrance
Into the fire-pit
Of my heart
Where it all burns
                      And sears
                      A crisping pain
But there is no entrance found.
For the door was sealed
                      Concrete coated
                      Draped in velvet
So as to not mar the outer appearance
For appearance is so important
In this world
                      Smile
                      Smile
So just how do I go on
Day by day
Not thinking about
My torn heart?

This poem is sweet in its honesty. Thank you for sharing, Sandra.

Sometimes you think about it...sometimes you put it aside...sometimes you try the opposite approach...you think of the good things you have...and you will have again...James

I have had to sit at that fire-pit ... praying for the tears to put out the flame~
