Russell Sivey Poet Villanelle

Her Tears of Sorrow

Her tears of sorrow and pain flow along
Tenderly I stroke her hair in my fingers
Her heart is exposed for me to hold strong

She hurts by the world’s events and its throng
The pain she holds seems to always linger
Her tears of sorrow and pain flow along

I offer her my shoulder for to cry on
This thing in her life sure presents a zinger
Her heart is exposed for me to hold strong

I hate to see crying, I hold her hours long
I’m always here for her, she’s a real ringer
Her tears of sorrow and pain flow along

In my heart each tear surely collects upon
Her soul comes out for she is the bringer
Her heart is exposed for me to hold strong

If you think we’re not meant to be, you're wrong
Our love is two harmonious believers
Her tears of sorrow and pain flow along
Her heart is exposed for me to hold strong

Russell Sivey
