It stung his cheek
Despite his fears
His guarded heart
Was shedding tears
Her tender heart
Familiar flow
How easily
It let them go.
When all is quiet
Instead of sleep
It opens up
They gently weep
It’s in the songs
On every note
In what was read
In what was wrote
Broken hearts
It’s how they bleed
Because they miss
Because they grieve
Because they hurt
Because they care
Tears will fall
When life’s not fair
