No More Tears

When you first left I could not cry I never shed a tear I found myself so all alone taken over by the fear I went for days my heart enslaved it was more than I could bare So hard for me to finally see my love you would not share Why is it when our hearts are broken we try so hard to find a token Just some little thing to hold on to a remembrance of a love once true I found a poem you wrote for me its purpose was so plain to see You spoke of love and life a new It made me want to cherish you I read it several times within and then again out loud It was then my heart did wither so as if covered by a shroud I remember falling to my knees and calling out your name I knew right then my life would change and never be the same I pulled myself up off the floor and ventured to the door and as I walked outside to breathe my tears began to pour I cried all day and into night I had no will I could not fight I cried so long and hard it seemed an endless flow of tears did stream Inside myself I went that day contented less yet doomed to stay I have not cried out loud since then I have no tears left here to spend Perhaps the day will come once more when I may venture out that door And lift this pain upon my heart Reach out and give new love a start...
