Tears

A single tear falls for a love that is lost
A single tear falls for a love not yet found
A single tear falls for a love not to be
A single tear falls for a love torn apart too soon
A single tear falls for love recognized
A single tear falls for each heartbeat spent apart
A single tear falls for each word left unspoken
A single tear falls for a doubt left unanswered
A single tear though it may seem
So many shed leaves a heart empty and dry.

A very beautiful written poem, I ve read your other poems also like missing you and i found my heart and truly all of your poems have great feelings behind them, it s good to cry sometimes because it helps you get heal, never try to hold back tears, well tey to remain normal in public, always cry when you re alone so that no body knows about your weaknesses, alway show the world that you re strong, however I m new and wanted you to read my poems and tell me how you feel about them
