This was originally published by the International Library of Poetry in a compiliation book called Touch of Tomorrow. I wrote it in 2004, and I hope you all like it.

The Ocean of Tears

A hope that's dashed and bleeding
A dream that always dies
A nightmare of always wanting
Hurts you and makes you cry

A wish that's never fulfilled
A Dream that can't come true
Makes your heart start screaming
And tears your soul in two

A fight to keep up your spirit
A struggle deep in your soul
This battered and barren wasteland
That constantly takes its toll

This hope that's slowly dying
Drops you to your knees in loss
With this ocean of tears your crying
I only hope it's worth the cost

this was really good. it's also really deep and it made me think of the things that have happened in the past that have been hard on me.

The true philosopher and the true poet are one, and a beauty, which is truth, and a truth, which is beauty, is the aim of both.

Ralph Waldo Emerson, American Poet (1803-1882)
