A Tear

It falls as swiftly as rain upon the softest cheek,
The signs of a Broken heart so serine but week.
  Imposable to hold back yet not so easy to let free,
But the feelings of hurt and sorrow may be just what you need.

  Yes, it’ll over take you and fill you with dread,
Till you can’t eat or sleep and just lay in your bed.
  You’ll have to be strong to force this away,
But sometimes this strength has a price to be paid.
  For strength is not cheap it cost quite a bit,
It’ll cause you to be hard and stubborn within
So it’ll hurt as much as the Broken heart did.

  See, being hard inside hurts just as well,
For truth will seem just like a spell.
  Words will cover just like a sheet
So your eyes may not see.

  So it’s better to have love and lost, then to have never loved at all.
At least that’s what they say right before you fall.

  As you know this causes emotions that is felt deep inside,
Not only of hurt and sorrow but happiness and pride.
  Its definitions many while understandings few,
As many people feel it still not knowing what to do.
  Overwhelming at times yet can be discrete,
Never knowing the cause could be just what you need.

  Sometimes it’s good to shed quite a few,
It helps you build stronger while retaining the new.
  It’s said to gain character and knowledge within
To help you out when the clouds roll in.

  So what is this thing that I talk so deeply about?
That can cause happiness, sorrow, and feelings of doubt?
  Its power is great yet still understood.
Though the size may surprise, it’s smaller then you knew.

*A simple tear is what it be……..And still remains the best remedie.*
