Thread: Tears Won’t Come

Tears Won’t Come

When they first told me
Your end was almost here
All I did was cry
I couldn’t stop a single tear

They said six months
Till your sorrow filled end
Less than a month
A thought they didn’t even lend

Now you’re gone
Much too soon
No time to get used to the idea
Before you left within one moon

Now those tears which once eagerly came
Refuse to send a single drop
To a girl who denies
But the denial has to stop

I need to cry to weep to sob
But these tears just won’t come
And every time someone says “You’re so brave.”
It’s like being beaten like a drum

I don’t want to be brave
I don’t want to stand tall
I want to sit on the couch
And ball and ball and ball

I’m not holding back
No foundries to keep these tears at bay
Except the voice that says:
“He’s not gone he’s only a long ways away”

When that voice accepts it I’ll finally cry
The gates of denial will disappear
And then the next thing I’ll know
Is the salty taste of a much awaited tear

For those who also read my poem"grandpa" these 2 poem are in alliance.

I usually dislike sad poems but right now I'm quite sad so I wrote one and I don't think it's horrible. Hope others will like it too.
