Keeper of my heart, <br />Why do you not understand? <br />Your voice is what pains, <br />My heart as it bleeds, <br />Bit by bit without a trace, <br />It leaves your embrace, <br />Tears stain my eyes, <br />While inside part of me dies, <br />But...I'll still smile, <br />Even if for a while, <br />Outside that smile will mask me, <br />But I cry really, <br />Every word you say, <br />Will puncture my heart deeper, <br />When you say my name, <br />Try and remember, <br />The smiles I show you are... <br />The tears that fall.<br /><br />April Jonees<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-tears-that-fall/
