Fears and Tears

The heart sheds its own tears Sorrowed by life’s unfairness As the hazy mist clears Anguish carries stark bareness Brokenness, deep despair Hope hanging slim by a thread Loneliness, hard to bear Happy face masks are soon shed The heart has its own fears Borrowed from life’s fickleness Pain that gently appears Testament to brittleness Wretchedness, feeling lost How long this wait for true love? Dreariness dressed in frost Life goes on without a shove. 06.05.2021

Hello Jo, I'll read a good poem; one that puts the mind to test. Though few I find felt from one no truer heart possessed. -Richard
