THESE TEARS I CRY : Family Poetry

written by Poet : jeffbresee


My heart aches with

No reason why

Though life is full

These tears I cry

 

Those who are near

Don't understand

At times with them

I even stand

 

I've searched and sought

What holds me bound

What weighs my heart

What brings me down

 

Perhaps it is

A cry from he

Who sits alone

Worse off than me

 

And wishes life

Were at an end

He could be saved

By a mere friend

 

But none has he

And so I hear

Of his sad fate

With distant ear

 

And though I go

Upon my way

Inside a silent

Stone is placed

 

And so it goes

Day after day

Until my soul

So much doth weigh

 

Thus when you look

Into my eyes

And sadness see

Don't be surprised

 

These tears I cry

And hold within

Will forever be

The tears for him

 

…Jeff Bresee
