 Through The Eyes Of A Poet...

Tears In My Head…Tears In My Heart...



Tears in my head, tears in my heart…
This pain is so bad that it tears me apart!
My heart is broken, and sore just now,
I need to keep fighting but don't know how!

It gets harder and harder, this is so true;
It cuts like a knife; I don't know what to do!
I tell my head to listen, and tell my heart to behave…
But the pain that I bear, is oh, so grave!

I look to my left; I look to my right,
But this pain of mine is so out of sight!
I move an inch, it pains me so,
I can't get any ease, it just won't go!

I sternly tell myself that it is all okay,
But how, dear God, do I get through this day?
Cos I have to tell it, and tell it true;
This pain of mine would be no good for you!

I have taken it all, all of my life;
And all I have lived is a sorrowful strife!
And oh woe is me, I can but try;
To stay focused, but at times, yes I cry!

But the pains so bad, tears will hurt me to cry…
I raise my eyes to the Heavens, and ask of God; ‘Why?'
But there is no answer, there is no reply,
So I feel sad inside, and inside I cry…

‘Why am I like this; Lord?' I whisper in the night;
‘Why burden me with pain so out of sight?
What did I do wrong in my life so bad?
That you give me a life that's so very bad?

Was it something I've done? Tell me please!
Because this pain of mine brings me to my knees!'
But I hear no voice in the night from above,
Has He forsaken me, left me without His love?

I wonder at times if I am wicked and sly!
Maybe that's why, at night that I cry!
Maybe He's punishing me for my way?
‘What did I do so bad; God?' I ask as I pray!

But this night there's silence…nothing to be heard;
Is this the way it is, from this God that cared?
For if He cared, I think He doesn't any more;
If He did why isn't He helping me through this door!

And ease my pain, and bask in His glow…
Well I have no answer-I just don't know!
But if He helped me through this pain so out of sight,
And ease it a little, and help me through this night!

Then I would be most thankful, for one night of no pain!
But it won't happen; it's another sleepless one again!
I wonder what it's like, to be pain free!
For just one day or night, just to see…

See what it's like to be in bliss for a while;
And be able to truly give a true smile!
And not have to pretend that all is well…
When really I'm battling through a life of hell!

But I guess He has His reasons, but I can't see…
Just what it is and why, He punishes me…
For it must be a punishment, what else is there?
What reason at all; cos I don't think it's fair!

But I guess I'll get through it, as only I can do!
And stay focused and calm, and loyal and true!
For if this is a test to see if I turn away…
I have to say it; He'll wait many a day…

Cos that will never, ever happen, no way!!!
