Tears

My tears are just an over spill of happiness Cascading down ones cheeks Smile trying to break through Being drowned by inner enjoyment After two long lonely years being separated By caring families that thought they knew best I was too young in their eyes to know true feelings of love So they wrenched us apart, nearly died of a broken heart Love gave me the courage to live this life of emptiness, I learnt all the necessities of being a good wife Whenever I stumbled on my path your face came into view Seemingly saying, “each day is one less” Would swallow my tears of pain, smile and carry on… Til this day….now my tears can flow….I am home Total words 120
