River Of Tears

My heart was struck by an arrow.
An arrow that had sharp blades of grief.
It hit me the moment you were fading away from my life.
So much grief caused me to drown in my own river of tears.

Before you left,
I would hold you in my arms at night,
falling asleep with a smile on my face.
But now that you're gone,
I can't hold on to you anymore.
I just sit up in my bed instead,
Waiting for you to come back to me.

No one could pull me through when I was drowning.
Because you were gone.
My wounds are still raw, like
The lightning leaving a scar across the sky.
I miss you, I really do.
I love you too.

There was a time when I believed love was pleasant.
But now I think that it's just too painful.
Sometimes love is Cruel, sometimes it's Kind.
It's cruelty gives you pain,
but it's kindness gives you second chances.

You don't just MEET your soul mate,
but you recognize them from when you're born.
They're always with you,
Will always remain a part of you.
Just like stars are part of the sky ;
They can never part, even when the day comes.

When you left, I was a lost soul,
no where to run, no where to hide.
I told myself that this would all go away,
but I remember that you were the one that taught me
love isn't always pleasant.

My tears are just a way of showing how much I want you back,
and now it's turned into a river.
I'm drowning, and you're not there to pull me through,
because you left, without a single ounce of love left behind.

I drowned, and now I am underneath my tears, still crying,
Creating another river of tears.
