Tears are words the heart can not express
For too many are painful, harsh & cruel
Our very core, weakened under duress
Throat tightened and tacitly rueful

Heart on fire in a burning chest
More fervently sigh after sigh
Hastened in grief and in distress
A bleeding soul seeming to die

Longing for time to quickly come
To heal at once these unseen wounds
Unseen but felt a thousand fold
Awaiting seasons to dispel gloom

Pass Winter come to Spring
With all wonders this season brings
Atone my heart inner scarring
To once more blooms & wildly sings
