Tears I shed

written by: katie.p.13

my tears have stopped falling
my emotions are no more
i have stopped caring
i have saved myself from heart ache once more
i have invited pain in far too long
i now can endure the hurt, the suffering, the failure
it has become my life
full of sorrow i have been set free
no more worries
no more cares
my thoughts unchained and emotions let go, my tears uncontrollable
with a new world around
my heart my mind my spirit pure again like they once were
a new beginning
waiting
still tainted with black
my soul struggles to embrace the second chance
to love again
to live freely
this feeling is momentary but forever lasting
somewhere deep in the depths of pain this feeling will be
as a reminder
as hope for another day
but my life is a never ending battle
its treasure, my freedom
ever so slightly, so discretely, so unwillingly
my soul is spotted with an uncontainable disease
moment by moment pain devours me internally
this feeling just lost now reappears
i shed but a single tear
