Cry a tear

My first published poem. Some small press put in in 1979.

                              Cry a tear

My heart still can bleed with pain and loss still.
Tears can fall when the night appeared and when your memory
reappeared.

The tears of loneliness.
Loneliness of losing you completely.

I could have survived without your kiss.

But never seeing your beautiful face.
Blessing me with hearing your sweet voice.
Leave me empty and alone.

Your love of life.
Is much too difficult to forget.
I miss the long talks and laughter.

Days have passed since our parting day.
And your memory still lies heavy upon my mind.

Sometime so heavy.
The thought of you make me feel weaken.
Not to tears.

The tears had faded way on a cold rainy night
when I left you alone in your bed.

The sadness of our goodbye is always on my mind.

It was the last day I could see the life in your eyes.

Wow Coyote this was so sad, so beautiful, so... I can't even fine the word that your pieces make me feel. Like I am above all, looking down, and your words just appear and softly they absorb into me, my thoughts, inside all. Like magic it is, your writing has such an effect it is amazing.. This is beauty, for I can feel it..

This poem is touching work. You always manage to put the
energy of a sincere heart in your stories. Nice piece.

I absolutley LOVE it. It's amazing and so easy to relate to. You are such a good writer. This poem actually stunned me. This poem is definitely joining the collection in my library. 'I could of survived without your kiss.
But never seeing your beautiful face.
Blessing me with hearing your sweet voice.
Leave me empty and alone.' That is the part I love as I never realized this, but that is so true. Sometimes when you are reminiscing and thinkign about the person you miss the simple memory of their face is what becomes the most painful. This poem is so emotional and strong and one of my favourites.

I can't describe how beautiful this is. Your writing seems to hold such heavy memories that seep so gently out of your head. Thanks for sharing.

All of the poems I have read from you are outstanding, and this one is not different. It always breaks the heart to lose someone no matter the reason. A great write, even if hold, the message still stands for today.

How hurtful goodbye's can be. Sometimes is so hard to walk away, sometimes its impossible, sometimes we're forced to. Very tragic emotional poem. It brings back the many goodbyes I've had to say. This is an outstanding poem, I think.
