Hi, I mistakingly posted this poem in the wrong forum, but here it is..

Pure was this tear that fell so deeply
onto my skin,
Falling from these eyes of heaven, that
washes away my sin.
To never feel your kiss again, comes pain
of which I never knew,
In sadness do my eyes begin to follow,
to catch a glimpse of a love that once
was true.
I fear you will never miss my touch, of
kisses in the night,
Never long to call my name, in the
whispers of the light.
Here I sit, a naked child, watching love
be swept away,
Here I sit, a naked boy, as you leave
with no words to say.
Pure was this tear that falls lightly
into my hands,
tears that fall from heavens eyes,
to the sound of the angels dance.
I watch as you gather strength to leave,
not to look into my eyes,
I watch as you close this door on us,
my lonliess to be the price.
I fall to my kness and grasp what is true,
the sounds of silence taunt me swiftly,
of our laughter which once I knew.
Pure was this tear that falls silently
from my eyes,
but pure no more from stains of hatred
in my crys.

This poem really touched me. We've all been there, and it's good to see someone express it so eloquently.

Your poem expresses incredibly detailed imagery. It certainly draws me in as a reader. It is incredible to see such tear-jerking feelings translated so beautifully into words.
