TEAR DROPS

This poem was written after I finally told my best friend of my abuse...

I must have cried a river
in these long and lonely years

Surpressing all my feelings
my heartaches and my fears

Scared to tell my secret
afraid to tell my tale

Threathened and misguided
my future looking pale

And then I got the courage
somewhere in my soul

My best friend I confided
in my secret have I told

This is my new beginning
and I am going to try

To keep forever healing
until the day I die

I suffered in my silence
I suffered in my hell

Until I got the courage
and my secret did I tell

Yes I cried a river
in those long and lonely years

So much hurt and heartache
and oh so many tears...
