Your tears are the lost ones,
                       the ones you needed to love,
                       the ones you needed to hold.

The ones your rejected now come back for you,
to ask you to love them,
to ask you to hold them.

Please do not reject...they are a part of you.

Only wanted to be loved by you.

Your pain saves you, more than you realise.

Let them be, and open the door to your heart.

Wide open.

    Thanks Maire and Mari. :) I just wish humans would acknowledge all that hurts, even to themselves. We would have no need for war, if we gave that space and love to ourselves. Missed you all too. xxx

    I've always believed my tears are not without purpose. At the very least they water a garden of compassion, grace and healing.
    This poem is a lovely consideration of the bittersweet beauty of heartache.
