When the Heart Cries

When the heart cries, the eye wells up When the heart bleeds, the eye blinds out For release of tethered emotions piled up Emotions nurtured within and without When the heart cries, the eye shudders From deep bitterness that aches the heart’s kindness Bitterness nurtured on a beloved shoulder In a restive quest for tenderness When the heart cries, the eye sheds tear From wounds of reckless love Incubated and nurtured out of fear The heart cries when out of love When the heart cries, the eye ails Groping in the blindness stupor Strong emotions pile up along love rail Calm as a child in dreamless slumber When the heart like the stomach Fractiously takes in without fill Well up like balloon stock after stock Yet it rambles for more still When the heart cries, the eye yells From jejune responses to her neediness When the heartfelt is within the heart walls When the heart has known no bitterness When the heart cries, the eye cries For restitution of her juvenile love and kindness In those days when trees were evergreen When breeze swayed the trees in gentle kindness
