The tears are hot
burning my face
as they stream down my cheeks
to the center of who I am
leaving marks on my soul
My heart so full
it may very well burst
the pain, so real
What can I do?
I have to be the strong one
show my proud and calm face during the day
and cry myself to sleep
I'm useless to her
The words I have
arent enough
I give her all the strength I have
but somehow it isnt enough
He's being selfish
hurting her
and here I am left
picking up the pieces from her broken heart
How do I do this again?
Less than a year ago
we ran around this hell before
burning rememberance in our souls
How can I be strong
when I havent any strength left
but if I give up
give in to my emotions
Who will pick up the pieces
who will hold her
reassure her, hold her hand
Everyone else has walked away
showing their backs
as they left
fearing for themselves only
So here is my strong face
wipe away the burning hot tears
as I face another day
alone, with no where to turn
Author notes
The storm is too strong, the heart too weak....
I hope that you that I love can forgive me, for leaving this way, I love you all... I am just unsure if I want to fight this battle anymore.

Honey holding you so tight, never letting you go! You are one of the most strongest women I have ever talked to. This poem is so full of powerful emotions. You are one of the greatest poets I have ever known! Much love to you sweetie. -

When you no longer have the strength to stand on your own, that's when the ones who love you gather around and hold you up just a little longer... long enough to get through the rough stuff. We may not be there in body sweetie, but we most certainly are in spirit!!
Stay well!

This is beautiful...sad and very powerful. YOu had better get you young butt back where you belong and leave that old devil to his lies and disgrace. You are NOT going to give up...and I meant it...you are too important to too many people here and at home. NO matter what the devil is trying to tell you, you are stronger than that...
I love you and will be praying for you...

Very heartbreaking... I feel this way so many times, wanting nothing more then to just give in, but knowing for my girls I can't, for them I always have to have that brave face. If mommy breaks down, where does that leave them. Its a tough battle and sometimes feels unending... wish I could offer words that would help.

Right now my mother is fighting breast cancer, i hide my tears from her and only show her smiles. It is very tough thing to do. I am always expected to be the shoulder to lean on. Which i don't mind doing but sometimes my soul just feels burnt out. I wish you only the best Queen

Oh God this was amazing!!! I know exactly how this feels, because the same thing is happening with me. You truly captured the feeling here, and definately how hard it can be to try to be so strong all the time.
