BLACK TEARS
She just stood there alone, cold and broken,
Black tears streaming, emotions unspoken,
Replays of her terrible fears festered in her mind,
Looking for some answers that she could not find,
We all have our dates with our worst of fears,
I know how she felt, for I too shed black tears,
Wrestling demons is an overwhelming fight,
Yet at the end of every tunnel there is a light,
I ran from my vehicle to make sure she was okay,
She turned and said, “This is the only way.”
I saw the scars where she cut away the pain,
I then showed her my scars, as it began to rain,
It was just the two of us on that bridge alone,
I begged to differ and asked to take her home,
She asked me, “Why do you even bother to care?”
My reply was, “Because I too, once stood there.”
She looked down, contemplating the river below,
I wrapped her in my arms and whispered, “I know.”
“I know in life just how frustrating loneliness can be.”
Holding on she said, “Thanks for saving me…”
