Cubby56 Comments on When You Cry

When You Cry

When you cry, I see the tears
Fall down your gentle face.
It makes me want to hold you
In a soft and warm embrace.

But this alone won’t stop the tears,
I see it in your eyes,
And so it is, for all your pain,
My heart now softly cries.

    So sad when you know that the sorrow won’t pass…this flows beautifully and tenderly…and makes me sigh.

    Touching, lovely–that helpless feeling of knowing we can’t always “kiss away the hurts”.

      Feeling helpless is such a horrible feeling, especially knowing that it pales in comparison to the pain others feel.

    Crying for what cannot be comforted. This has pricked at my conscience – on a day when many thoughts are shifting and being guided. Thankyou

    Delicate, heartfelt, and beautiful. Reminds me of those times when people thought I was unmoved, while in fact I was crying tearlessly 🙂

      Tearless crying is perhaps more painful than tearful crying.
