~tearful stains~

i long to hold you; your heart
in my arms and comfort
your fears away

I long to feel you within me-
your love and understanding;
washing my pain away

I long for you; as i miss
you, i miss that part of you
that resides within me

an eternity of why
upon my mind, rests so heavily,
so impassioned and desolate

i lift my head to the stars
with hope of a new day in my heart
that someday smiles might…
…wash away tearful stains
