River Of Tears

A river of tears have cascaded
Down both my cheeks and face,
Praying I would find the slightest relief;
Unfortunately, that was not the case.

This heartache you have bestowed on me
Has cursed me greatly with this pain,
Consistently and relentlessly attacking me;
This torment has surpassed inhumane.

My heart will never be able to heal
Unless this pain withdraws and goes away;
If my heart heals, it will forever be
Covered with these scars that stay.

Forever tattooed on my deformed heart,
Each one has a story they will tell
Of a lover who was never loved
And suffered needlessly through Hell.

Hello Mathew Sturgeon, So nice to meet you. Did someone hurt you? Then that person was not the right person for you. Or is this just a poem? Enjoy your evening my friend. /Darlene/
