Wasted Tears by Jason Qualls

For along time you wanted a better man
but up till know i been doing the best i can
i spend my days full of loneliness
i spend my years filled with emptiness
wasted love in a desperate carcass
its hopeless
i don't even know why i even keep trying
everyday i think of you i keep crying
as i wait for the right person to come into my life
i count the tears that fall from my eyes
i wait in the rain, then i realize
the time i spent with you was only wasted years
the love i gave to you was only wasted tears
i don't even know why i miss you
afraid to love again
The shadow of sorrow cast down on this lonely one
the cries of the broken seem to go on forever
in desperation the chance to love again lost forever
the smell of lust fills the sky
no one hears the echoes of drops from fallen
wasted tears.

Oh my God!
Oh my God! This was me, many many years ago. The wound was deep, took years to heal, and scar over. The scar is still there, but harden now. It's nice your able to release this through poems. I did back then in songs I wrote, and singing with my guitar, to release the pain. Songs I don't remember now, it's been over twenty-nine years ago. Your doing the right thing, by releasing it, and not bottling it up inside. Find a new interest, a hobby, a sport you've never done. It tires you, and helps alot to release the pain. Surfing and dirtbiking did it for me, and finally a new person,to help bury the wound even deeper. You'll survive Brah! Just takes time to heal. A very touching poem Jason Qualls. It was heart felt. Be strong and thanks for sharing your poem with us.
