A lot of tears are cried for sadness
For despair, sorrow, regrets, and death
Tonight tears are shed because of love
For compassion, understanding, loyalty, and kindness
They are cried from the depth of my heart.
For the future, for the present, and for the past
In this moment of solitary time I'm not alone
For I stare, I touch, I kiss, and I caress
You exhausted, sleeping body while I watch you
For my promises, my truth, my love, and my identity
When you awaken from your slumber - It's forever yours.1
Author notes
There is a lot to be said for sleeping.
It is essential to function. It is a way to relax. It is a way to be intimate...but have you watched your partner sleep, and felt so deeply, and utterly mistified that it swept you away, and caused you to tear up.
This is my way of expressing myself.
Through the happiness, and blessing I feel.
Last word is
*mroww*
