His Loss
Tabitha J. Bryson 1973 (Indianapolis, Indiana)
These tears I shed
are mine alone
millions of tears
without a home.
I cry from pain
I do not understand
So many tears I've cried
for this man.
I feel his love
though it's my own
watered with tears
it hasn't grown.
Never ever will I
have his heart
this truth I knew
right from the start.
Yet still I waited
hoping someday
love would fill his heart
and whisper of my name.
My tears continue to fall
one by one
mourning a dream
loss of a wanted love.
With love still in my heart
and tears upon my face
I now admit defeat
and bow out with grace.
