Tears and Pain
Bitter it is that I must live in the moment
And strive to keep the future at bay
Say not what I want so dearly to scream
But firmly I cannot
True friendship, bitter love
Grips me by the heart and holds me back
The poets say it is the greatest joy
But to me the bitterest sacrifice
To care so much at last
And to realize at the very same moment
To see plainly that I can’t
Beg him to stay
To love,
Nor to ignore my tears and pain
