Tears Flowing Down

The tears keep falling down my cheek,

Making a never ending path,

Through hell may upon me wreak,

I must be strong,

For though I say I have only fear,

I must remember what you had taught me…

“There cannot be courage without fear,

You cannot have Joy without sorrow,

Light without Dark, my dear.

For all things must balance,

If it didn’t, my dearest darling,

We would have no need

Of knights and heroes

To do our daring deeds.”

So I shall wear this cloak of strength

Around my shoulders,

And through the tunnel I go, into the starry night,

Wishing that I still had you as a guide and as the second of my hearts halves.

You have not gone forever, for I can see you there,

There! Flitting just past thru the forest that never ends

The tears begin anew,

A new path down my cheek,

And I ache; I ache for your love,

For though the future is not quite bleak,

I still have your cloak of knowledge and underneath,

I have heart that still aches,when I see tears falling down your cheek.
