Tears

by Kandy with a K - Libra

Tears from a heart that is hurting, never reach the ground
Brushed away like a forgotten past no longer to be found

Within each tear, a memory of a life that once was shared
trapped inside...nowhere to go, no pain can be compared

With each new memory, it seems the tears would fall the less
but new ones won't replace the old, they just add to instead

The same two tears out of our eyes will almost never fall
just like each separate memory we so often may recall

Just as each memory has it's own distinct and separate place,
no teardrops are the same as they are streaming down my face

We can't add to or take away from memories of the past
but holding them gently in our hearts will make them always last

Reason for writing:

    Going through a divorce from a marriage of 12 years with 2 surviving children.
