A tear I cried for you

Love can be so amazing, but also so tragic.

A tear I cried for you today

Took me back in time

That tear that fell so solemnly 

Brought me to this rhyme

As it fell upon my cheek

I recognized its form

One that has occurred frequently

One that's been well worn

This tear I singled out to you

Reminds me of the past

Failed attempts of our relationship

Contemplating why it couldn't last

It stained my memory

And I hide behind a lie

That tear for you streams down my cheek

Reminding me of our goodbye

It seems that if I hide it

It sneaks back upon my cheek

Pouring down the painful times

I felt confident in you I'd seek

And when I wipe the tear away

You seem to disappear

But only for the moment

Do you seem so far from here

My solution bares no answer

And I cannot change your mind

So for now I will keep this tear

Until this pain itself subsides

This tear I cried for you today

Is the last one for your name

I whisper strongly to myself

"I can't handle all the blame."

Love those last four lines...Something we can relate to, and so beautiful!

Another great poem... I keep thinking of the transformation between cocoon and butterfly; as in poem to song. You must compose these with your guitar in your hand.

I agree with Hannah. So good

So sad! yet beautiful all at once! The picture you chose complimented it beautifully though im not sure how I feel about the green colored script.

[Jolie Blossom]

Thank you for opinion!! I don't know how I feel about it either, maybe a light grayish blue?

[Emily Dickinson Jr.]

This is such a prevailing piece, it speaks of lose, humility, blame, unanswered questions. There are so many raw emotions wrapped up into your words, it as if you are stripping yourself bare and letting it all pour out. I get the sense that when you talk about the tear that fell so solemnly - this is a reoccurring pattern. Going into the next lines -
"As it splashed upon my cheek
I recognized its form
One that has occurred frequently
One that's been well worn"
This is such a heartbreaking tale - you are right when you say love can be amazing, but it can be so tragic as well. I think that many of us can relate to this on many different levels and you have very clearly expressed your emotions throughout the piece.
If only we could experience the amazing part of love - and leave this part behind, but how would we learn? And then what would we write about?
Thank you for sharing this heartfelt piece.

Wow, your comment was so amazing to read, thank you so much. I wrote this after my first love and I broke up, it was the hardest breakup I ever endured. It literally felt like my heart was slowly being ripped from my chest. Yes, you. Are right, the reoccurring tear symbolized that we went back and forth And eventually it was over, but I felt the sadness for a long time to come. I wish we could too, experience just the beauty of love but I guess we do learn to grow. I always love your feedback, thank you!!

You are so very welcome :) The pain you describe and the feelings are so true to love that it is like looking into a mirror of my own love. The going back and forth can be the hardest - leaving you up in the air. Oh sweetie I am so sorry for your pain.

I dont feel blame anymore, but do reminisce about the once beautiful times. This was for my first love, so I felt broken in every way possible. Thank you for reviewing :)
