His Healing Tears

One by one, down they fall Softly, on his dampened cheeks Emotions erupt the surface And with sorrow, they release Trodden along a familiar path Down stream, his tears they flow Unknowingly, now on a solo venture His journey leads to a place unknown Forced to make a difficult choice His integrity, he had to uphold To preserve his soul, he had to flee And escape from further turmoil Though layers of pain envelop him In all, he's determined to stand strong To heal and recover from damage done By a partnership he no longer belongs He'll learn to rearrange his priorities And this time, he'll put himself first No longer will he tolerate those Demands that manipulate and coerce For with each new day, opportunity awaits Personal goals, he'll work towards He'll see leaving was his saving grace And empowerment will be his reward So as his tears keep falling I pray his heart can bear the ache As his brokenness starts to mend Healing tears need to be embraced It takes great courage and strength to carry on When one's whole world turns upside down So let the tears fall as they may And reassuring peace will soon be found
