Weight in Tears

A quatrain from 2005 I found in a shoebox (Dead letter box)

If you are truly

worth your weight in tears

I've paid for you tenfold

through the years

had to read this a few times Jim , to think what to say it is full of regret for staying and accepting that you have not been appreciated..

[Desert Knave]

Thank you. ~Jim

[light and ashes]

Well expressed in words.

[Desert Knave]

Thank you ! ~Jim

[John Sullivan]

Short but sweet. The ecstasy and the sadness love can bring.

[Desert Knave]

Thanks. I thought, intially, I'd make this one longer, but it just did seem necessary. ~Jim

[John Sullivan]

There's a value in knowing when to end a piece. And a relationship, for that matter...

Wow, this is heart teaser...several handkerchiefs needed.

Thank you. It has sat in a shoe box for nearly 2 decades because I was never sure if it was right. ~Jim
