Tears

Tears may stream down my face
But it's remembrance of that place
I once was someone's world enlightening
Now the bitter cold is all too frightening

I once believed I had found all I'd ever want
I still do think that it was all I'd ever need
But now the memories sit here and taunt
Making my emotions crumble and bleed

I yearn for what was before
I hold my memories so dear
Yet, I sit here on this floor
Feeling all and only fear
I stagger across my scars
The ones you can't even see
I miss the sight of blissful stars
In her eyes from love so free

I once conceived futures so fulfilling
She agreed with the fullest passion
I could feel our connection overflowing
She showed mutuality and compassion

My heart is sitting here in it's cage
Put away to preserve it's last stand
It bottles up the tragedy and rage
Waiting for love's return to land.
