A Thousand Tears

A Poem by Jeffery Hayes

You entered my life
When I was not looking
I was caught off guard
When I fell so hard
I never wanted this
I never wanted to feel the sting
of Falling in love

Now I am afraid to lose you
When you make it seem so easy to walk away.
Countless times you were the reason I cried
Because of you
A Thousand Tears
I have cried

To the floor
I fall
Broken and scared
My heart is fragile
You need to be careful
Please don't play games
One wrong move
And it could break into
A Thousand Pieces

A Thousand Tears
I have cries

If I must beg
I will with pride
Just promise
You will stay by my
side
