~~
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.
