TEARS WON'T CALL THEM BACK

It is done
a soul has slipped away
no return, no familiar face
only stories to keep them near.

Tears may fall into rivers
but they will not call them back.
Sleepless nights unravel sorrow
yet the silence still remains.

So let your heart rest awhile
let it bend without breaking
so one day it may learn again
to love, to live, to carry on.
