Unshared Tear

Tears flow from my eyes,
crest over my cheeks
into the empty space
you once filled

deep in my heart...

We shared a single tear,
flowing into one another,
cleansing out the pain
dwelling within us both

now...

we cry apart, on separate sides
of our destiny...

We presented each other
a possibility of hope
and promise
We could almost see it,
touch it,
smell it,
and taste it

so close..

The intent of my words
fell silent to you.
I used deception,
not to hurt you,
but to unmask the anguish
blanketing  your heart

and mine...

for you..

I can feel all your affliction,
your depression,
your distress,
yet I can not see them

or you...

I am blind...

Did you know
when your soul is bleeding,
I crave to become
its band-aid.
When you are dreaming
thoughts of despair,
demons all around you,
it hurts me,
not being there

for you..

When you are smiling,
I look for my camera,
wanting to be able
to show you the picture
as you begin to cry.
No longer do we share
a single tear,
yet I reach out
for another chance,
another moment,
another tear

yours...

    Along with being able to sleep in another's presence is the ability to cry in front of someone, as well, or to weep together. I once told someone that I certainly don't mind a man that cries, I just didn't want someone who made a habit of it. It is a fine write, Poet.

  • well john

    This is really sweet and heartfelt. I like the imagery and emotion as well as your use of language to add to the sadness and longing you express in this composition. Very good write.

    So full with compasion, and love

    John, you truly write with such flare. Your words of support and strength come through so strongly, and yet with such beautiful emotion. This is the language of love. Excellent write. I was especially touched by the lines:

    When you are dreaming
    thoughts of despair,
    demons all around you,
    it hurts me,
    not being there

    These words say 'I care' so eloquently. Rose.

  • you write with such passion and conviction that it is hard not to get caught up the story with you!
    The intent of my words
    fell silent to you.
    I used deception,
    not to hurt you,
    but to unmask the anguish
    blanketing your heart

    and mine...

    for you..


    these lines spoke to me personaly in a way that I could relate to.

    John,

    This is stunning!! This reminds me of my love and I and all that we are going through, and thoughts that we have shared since May. This reaches deep into my heart and soul for that one reason and one reason alone! You really pulled out all the stops on this one! I applaud you for this one! I think I will have to bookmark this one as it touches me that deeply!

    Great job on this one!!!

    and love bubs
