Tears

By: Rachael Howard

I cried a thousand tears
or a million, maybe
When you couldn't hear
"Come back," I begged
But I heard your heart
"Soon, my love."

Useless tears
you shouldn't see
Each one bears your name
But you must go
and I shall stay
Go into the cold
when I can keep you warm
but never truly keep you

My empty arms
my restless sleep
needing to dream
I see you wandering
and smiling
and crying tears for me

These lonely days come
and go so slowly
What trials we pass
And I feel your love
every sad day
Until you can hold me.
