~~
A thousand tears have fallen
and saturated my face.
Keeping alive the memories
that time will never erase.
Salient thoughts burden my brain,
each with a life of their own,
keeping me close to my ardent emotion,
my sadness never far from home.
A rushing wave of sorrow,
an eclipse of what was good,
trying to find the buoy of happiness,
in the sea of misunderstood.
Embracing loss, moving on,
clinging to what I hold dear.
Knowing that the emotion I feel,
others keep just as near.
I cry a thousand tears,
knowing I am not alone,
and I hold tight to those who cry with me,
feeling that they are my home.

This speaks to me. You’re a talented writer!
Thank you very much. I really appreciate that.
RIght where I’m at today. Well, right where I’ve been ever since my wonderful husband of 22 years came home from being out to sea and told me he fell in love with the cook on his tugboat. I never thought there could be so many tears.
Oh, that is heartbreaking. I’m so sorry to read that.
It certainly is. Heart. Breaking. A thousand times a day.
I’m sending a big hug. xx
Thank you so much. I really need a hug now!
I am with you. And I am always proud to wear my tears on my sleeve.
Thank you for that. 🙂
Tears are good – they’re a way for the stress and toxins to leave our system (that’s what I tell myself) **hugs**
After this last week, I do feel very cleansed. xx
