River of Tears (Poem #3)

A River of Tears

A heart is broken
And a life is token is pulled away
As her heart gets heavy, the water appears
And she begins to cry a river of tears.

The pain she bears
That no one cares
Would soon dim the light that
Had shined so bright.

She stood in her room
Thinking that her life was doomed
That life had no meaning
No fun, no happy greetings.

Her teacher tried to reach her
And show that he cared
So that no a single hour or
Minute of her life should be spared

She walked out that day
With her head held high
Knowing that she was full of pride.
She went home and knew that she needed someone
But when she looked no one was there.

She was corrupt through high school
Thinking that no one was there
To she the hard times
That she bared.

That very night she took her very life
Due to all those long years filled with grief and strife
At her funeral her teacher appeared
He spoke of all her wonderful qualities as his eyes began to tear

He spoke of those years he tried to save her life
That somewhere in her body must have been an ounce of might
But now she was in a greater place
With no more agonies to face

For years and years to come
It was her grave that her teacher would never depart from
For he was finally there to share those long years
Of the river of tears
