Amanda Kinzer Poet Rhyme

The Tear Keeper

The tear keeper the one who holds my tears, the one who has listened to me cry and alleviated my fears
The tear keeper the one who carries this jar around, just in case I feel the need to cry or a tear starts to fall down
You collected all my tears and you still have them to this day, they’re just sad reminders of me every time that I lost my way
There is one for the love that I lost that can never be returned, and there are more for the words that were said to me and the lessons that I have learned

What do you do with them? I’m just curious as to why, you would want to keep them looking at them doesn’t it make you want to cry?
Knowing that in your hands you’re holding all of someone’s pain, doesn’t it make you dreary and remind you of nothing but rain
Now that you’re gone, I know how to make you visit me, I just start to cry and there you are right in front of me
Waiting patiently as my eyes glisten just waiting for a tear to fall, and you know that they will because every time I see you my heart breaks in two and I can’t stop it at all.

Yes I have finally found the happy tears per se. I just still like to write about my past and the things that I went through in the hopes that maybe it will help someone else. Cheers to you as well.

John Gondolf June 24, 2020 at 1:36 PM Your poems all seemed to be filled with such sadness, Amanda, I can feel the deep emotions within, they are all so beautifully written. I hope these are not the true feeling of your heart right now. My best to you. John Amanda Kinzer June 24, 2020 at 6:55 PM They truly are John. For some reason this is what I feel best at writing. Thankfully no I am no longer in this pain and misery but I love to write down what I am feeling as I am going through it. It helps me to heal. Thank you for your kind words. Best to you as well.
