Healing Tears

One by one, down they fall Softly, on my dampened cheeks My hurts erupt the surface And with sorrow, they release Freely, along a well-known path Like river currents do flow I fear that they will never stop Down stream, my tears they go Familiar pain encloses me The freedom to reach out, again you stole Constraints are placed upon once more Separating our two souls The days pass by so slowly And have led me to this place The place I'd thought I'd left behind Where sadness shrouds my face Recurrence hurts a whole lot more Than I suspect you are aware I wonder if you feel the void Or if you even care I told you once, I didn't want Our love to be for nothing So help me, God, this hurting heart Has got to count for something So if these tears keep falling And my heart can bear the ache I pray the brokenness will mend And peace will settle in its place I'd hoped it wouldn't end like this I guess I'm not worthy of 'Goodbye' So I'll embrace the healing tears Still flowing from my eyes.
