How many tears?

sandra

 

How many tears can one person cry? How do you learn to stop and allow them to dry?
The holding of breath in such dispair,
Looking, searching, for your loved ones, but they are not there!

How does your heart heal after such pain?
How do you start your life over again?
How do you not think of the ones you need,
How do you allow your soul to be freed?

Where does the strength come from?
How to make right what is so wrong?
When a lifetime of having someone, then suddenly no more,
Where do you go to find them, where is that door?

This place called mourning, is an ugly space,
It drops you in a dark hole and detaches you from the human race!
It shatters your life from morning till night,
Consumes all your hours, fills you with fright.
Takes you places that hurt and cause pain,
Can play with your mind, make you believe your insane!

When the life of someone you loved very much,
Is snatched from this world, you can't speak, can no longer touch!
When the loss becomes too great and your drowning in grief,
How do you hold onto what was once your belief?

How many tears can one person cry?
Where's the energy for you to even try?
Losing a loved one is the hardest ever,
This thing called death is cruel but clever!

When he comes and stops your life,
He cuts you deep, straight into your heart with his knife.
He removes all the joy leaving only sad,
He dissolves all that's good and leaves only bad.

Death is a monster we will all meet one day,
He will leave such pain when he takes you
away!
There is no escape from his grasp however you try.
We will all be his guests in death when we die.
It's the sorrow, his footprints leave,
And the only cure for this is to grieve.

Yes your tears will stop one day,
Your pain will ease, but won't go away.
You will learn to cope and life will go on,
Until death once again comes along.
