My Tears Don'T Dry

I wept today, on sun’s approach Although the sun flew gently by My feelings wane, my heart despairs For I just sit and often cry My eyes, they run, my heart, it shows My fragile being has no reply Other than, to cry alone, so often, too To feel so sorry and wish to die I know that’s wrong, to wish that true But, my eyes are heavily moistened still I have no heart, it’s shattered now I must then give up, I have no will So here I cry, unto the day As well, the night, it sees me weep My dying heart, does so control As tears permit me not to sleep

Michael, I felt intense sorrow as I read on; and...my heart was very heavy to the end. You tell it well Sir. Caryl

Awww, this is so heart felt, so true, and i can relate so much. Dont worry, the pain lessons as time goes by, even I have learned that much.

This is so heartfelt. I can relate so well to these deep, sad emotions that you have penned so beautifully here. Right or wrong, feelings are feelings. Very moving piece. Love, Robin

Grief sometimes overwhelms, and at times, takes over where one can see no end. This poem says it too well!
