Tears That Fall
Children laughing in the fields
Lovers dancing in the sun
All I do is see black and white
I see no joy nor happiness
in sight
Where light once stood upon
my crown
Only darkness remains now
Silent tears fall mourning
my tormented soul
He said he couldn't stand
to see my heart broken
I guess he closed his eyes
When he shattered it to the
floor
Withered hearts make deadly
embraces
So cold is the touch of a person
now
I am haunted by love's ghost
Sitting underneath this willow
Watching the world go on
All I can do is sit here and
cry
For my love that has died
Broken promises and shattered
dreams
Soulless desires burn like a
lost flame
Love is for fools
Trust is for the blind
Can these tears stop please
For no one hears my screams
Surrounded by people
Yet I am all alone
No one feels the way I do
No one understands me
I do not belong here
Oh why do I live
In my hand is my bleeding
heart
I ripped it from my chest
Buried it in a grave
Dead inside yet breathing still
How could you go back on
your promise
Betray me once again
Kill this infested love
I do not want to care
I cry for all the memories
we shared
Most of all I cry cause
Even in my most dark despair
I love you still
Yet here I am in
A world not meant for me
A love that kills me
Nothing can save me now
For my only companion
The only thing that does not
lie
Are the tears that I cry
Author notes
this is actually how i am feeling now cause the man i love broke a promise and my trust...

This was certainly deep and I can really relate which is why it really spoke to me. The imagery created by the vivid metaphors explain and portray so much about the inner emotions along with strong descriptions within.Brilliant work, keep it up!!

Plaintive, sad refrain. Well done, poet.

I'm so dearly sorry for whatever might have happened to your relationship. Your story is very moving and many have been there, but your own is unique to the way you describe it and how you feel and deal with everything. Despite the sadness or pain you may be dealing with, this piece was extraordinary. You took me along the situation finely and helped me to understand what you're feeling. I wish it hadn't been so sad, though. Instead of contradicting that I wanted to know why so many people are crying in the world, I'll say this much - you have talent for expressing yourself. Your imagery is very remarkable and I can only hope that you don't always have to be upset or hurt to write with such emotion. Thank you for entering and much luck.
