Single Tear

Its bad when it hurts so much I can only cry a single tear

I've cried many tears in my life,

but none as true as this one.

 

It stands under my eye,

refusing to move or let me cry.

 

Things where finally looking good.

It failed and I should've known it would.

 

California to Arkansas;

long distance love is against the law.

 

It wasn't her fault,

and I should've thought.

 

Her dad doesn't like that;

the long distance contract.

 

He said no to our glee.

It would work but he doesn't see.

 

But one day, girl,

 I'll give you the world.

 

That's my promise to uphold.

If only the world wasn't so cold.

This poem, also, reminds me of my last relationship :'( You're hitting the button's boy! But I love your work. I'll keep reading and reviewing, because you have talent.

An idea for you, if you don't already do it, is to find a local cafe that does open mic nights and speak your work out! I do so every few weeks!

Thanks but we don't have any of those here, not that I know of at least

The one thing I found lucky was that I have a cafe/coffee house near by when someone new bought the place and kept it the same. Try googling some cafe's or coffee houses in your local area. Some of them might have a website to check out :)

You are very poetic and really know how to put words to paper. I can relate to the long distance thing it really sucks but anyway great poem I loved it.

aawww... this is so good! You've done an excellent job with this.. my favorite stanzas were the 4th one and the last one. Very well done.. emotional, loved it!

Gotta shelve it!

I adore this poem and it's completely accurate too. Sometimes it just gets to a point where you can't cry more then a single tear for some it's because it simply hurts too much or your body is just so sick of it that it won't allow you to cry anymore. It's no fun being in this place in life but you made something positive from it. Good work! Thank you for sharing your art with the world! I'm looking forward to your next piece!

One question - what does the S mean at the ends of your poems?
Again, you've a got a good rhyme scheme going there. Wow! I loved it. That just reminds me of one of my friends. If they actually wrote a poem, I imagine they would write it like this. {Don't worry, that's a compliment :) } Beautiful poem!
