No More Tears
When you first left I could not cry
I never shed a tear
I found myself so all alone
taken over by the fear
I went for days my heart enslaved
it was more than I could bare
So hard for me to finally see
my love you would not share
Why is it when our hearts are broken
we try so hard to find a token
Just some little thing to hold on to
a remembrance of a love once true
I found a poem you wrote for me
its purpose was so plain to see
You spoke of love and life a new
It made me want to cherish you
I read it several times within
and then again out loud
It was then my heart did wither so
as if covered by a shroud
I remember falling to my knees
and calling out your name
I knew right then my life would change
and never be the same
I pulled myself up off the floor
and ventured to the door
and as I walked outside to breathe
my tears began to pour
I cried all day and into night
I had no will I could not fight
I cried so long and hard it seemed
an endless flow of tears did stream
Inside myself I went that day
contented less yet doomed to stay
I have not cried out loud since then
I have no tears left here to spend
Perhaps the day will come once more
when I may venture out that door
And lift this pain upon my heart
Reach out and give new love a start...
