Tears From the Heart

I wrote this poem years ago when I was going through some deep heartbreak and heartache in my life.. I've made some changes to this poem.

Tears from the heart

Fallen drops of sadness.
Streaming down my sullen face.
Pain forms a misty waterfall
That leaves me in disgrace
Walking through this teary tunnel
I see nothing but the shame
Of losing my dignity
In playing loves game
Playing on the shores
Of oceans and fears
Waiting to be formed
Gathered by the years
No one ever knows
When pain will strike the heart
Emotions pain and agony
To tear the dreams apart
I await the day with patience
For time to close this wound
As patience is a virtue
The joy will surely come soon
Through moments of my sadness
I yearn for hope that pain will ebb
For surely love has not forgotten
That time will break this web

I Am Waiting For A Friend

I am waiting for a friend
A friend who never leaves
A friend that knows when to listen
A friend who will help carry my burdens,
when I am too tired to go on
A friend who is not afraid to cry with me
A friend that knows my heart
A friend that gives from the heart
A friend I can call on daily
A friend that loves unconditionally.
Teresa Davis
