My tears

[NeverMore]

so many years
of being so cold
never knowing
just what tears would mean

so many people
passed my way
no tears were shed
at the parting

a small taste of salt sampled
yet no rivers formed
then there was you

along you came
with words that made me smile
so much the tears just flowed

words sometimes came in sadness and anger
making them a torrent

the day you left
the rivers flowed for weeks

I thought
I would get beyond that
feeling of loss in my life

yet each day
with each thought
of the love we share
more of the same
find me here

I hide
behind a closed door
so no one can see

thinking that
if no one sees
they just never happened

now
with words from you
they flow steady
unabated

these tears
want to tell someone
who would listen

this love
was given with no condition
this love is given without regret

I do not wish
the tears to cease with time
you have always been worth each and every one

The title suits this piece well. Wonderful wording and emotion bled tearfully throughout this. Wonderful write, truly captivating.

Ah yes.. the woman who taught me that tears were for more then just the weak... it took many years to learn how to do that...

I thank you for your comments, coming from guys.. it says a lot about the fact that we guys are not as ...male *LOL* as the ladies might think.
