Have you ever stopped to contemplate how many teardrops are cried in a lifetime...


Poem Artwork

 

Ten Tons of Teardrops

 

 

Feel the weight of a thousand moments

That love has impressed upon my mind

Such empty shallow sadness gets personified

When the one you love turns so unkind

 

 

It’s been said that time heals heartaches

Perhaps for some this may be true

Too many fatal scars on this old heart

So now instead of red it’s dreary blue

 

 

And ten tons of teardrops made a river

That twisted and turned till it ran dry

Ten tons of teardrops held by a floodgate

Because I’ve forgotten how to cry…

Forgotten, or just don't give a schit anymore. Either way, isn't it a sad state of the heart?

Well written, very emotive and very sad too. Cry me a river and wash away the sadness. Wounds heal better in salty water/tears they say. I think so too. Big hugs, J'nia

I agree with Karen, crying is cleansing, and I bet there is a river out there for all of us!
A poem everyone can relate to, thank you for such an insightful poem, Fee.
Much peace love and light

... let me teach you! Aw, Pops, this one's a real choker but as per u. just wonderfully, lyrically crafted and heart-meltingly expressed. It recalls the last two lines of a poem I wrote called Condolence, which ends: "Mine is a withered house; there is no water here"... As for the rest of us, there won't be a dry-eye in the house tonight... xxxx :((
