Hello, My Poetry and Writing friends! 🙂

I hope you are well! Thank you for visiting my poetry blog. I appreciate you being here!

You would think that, as a poet, I would be comfortable with shedding tears, but it’s quite the opposite. Even though it’s not healthy, I usually fight my tears until it hurts. A lump accumulates in my throat, my chest hurts, and it gets more challenging to breathe. I start to feel sick to my stomach and end up going to bed.

This last time, I allowed myself to cry. I cried over things that happened many years in the past, as well as for the present situation. It ended up giving me a horrible headache, but I am glad I let myself cry.

As I cried in the dark, I imagined God watching over me, keeping me safe and shining down His love. It was and is a comforting thought.

Tears During The Lonely Night

my heart bled with tears in the desolate night
the pressure in my heartbroken chest hugged me tight
the lump in my swollen throat found its exit
I cried for things I had tried to forget
blood vessels broke around my tired eyes
I couldn’t have stopped crying if I had tried
I lay in my bed all alone with my stinging tears
releasing emotions that were held back for years
I wondered if the misery and pain would ever end
sick of running in circles and playing pretend
staying up late into the lonely night
then trapped within dreams that left me in fright
I wondered if I could ever break free
and live in the way that was meant for me

~Thank you for reading, and until next time, stay safe and be blessed!~ 🙂
