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.
