Just another tear

Suddenly alone from a relationship, but to find the love of another

Alone again, in the realm of sadness and seemingly everlasting grief,
Can one really love again after the crush soon becomes the blow?
Is it really just another tear?

To see another’s sadness, is it really mine to share?
Can i soften the blow for someone else or just make the damage erode her heart more slowly?
Is it really just another tear?

But to make her happy and see that smile,
Can the spark of an everlasting love really heal the hole in her heart, or just shield her from making it bigger?
Is it really just another tear?

To feel her touch, and feel the healing begin,
Is this the beginning of my love, to show another I’m ready to heal her heart too?
This isn't just another tear; this is the start of an eternal protection.

You know, I really like this :). Its so honest and exactly what goes through someones head in this relationship. The only not so positive thing I'd like to point out is that I couldnt really FEEL the emotion. I mean, you talk about it, the thoughts are honest. But I'd like to read this poem again and be touched by its passion. Yeah? Make sense? Hope so.

Tears of protection! Now there is a concept that I shall carry with me from here on in my life's journey however long or short that may turn out to be. Thanks for sharing. I hope that the absence of any literary criticism at this junction does not put you off and that I may return to it another day at a more decent hour and offer some that you had requested in the note accompanying this lovely poem.

An old Native American proverb is: "Before you can weep, you too must cry."

Sometime when we help another. We can help our self. I like the emotion and the desire of this poem.
"To feel her touch, and feel the healing begin,
Is this the beginning of my love, to show another I’m ready to heal her heart too?"

. ohhhh ... incredibly poignant ... the last two lines are to die for ... love brings with it many responsibilities ... and the loss of love almost always causes a certain kind of tentative diffidence ... it's definitely perplexing ... you express a lot in this poem ...
