Judith S Poet Rhyme

Hurt Can'T Be Kept

You’ve come from cold
Hushed words not told
Don’t say those things
The shame it brings

Don’t be so bold
Just let it mold
Deep in your soul
You dig a hole

Hide all your fear
No tears my dear
Wear your good cheer
No one will hear

You cry at night
When out of sight
You’re hard as steel
Your heart can’t feel

In light of day
No one can say
That you are weak
Your tears won’t leak

That day you find
One who is kind
Who feels your cry
In your mere sigh

A word of love
Soft as a dove
Safe in his arms
Steeled from all harms

Out pours the pain
Hard as spring rain
Tears must be wept 
Hurt can’t be kept
