these tears i cry <br />pour down like rain <br />covering my cheeks <br />as they run down my face <br />know one can really see <br />the pain hidden deep within <br />buried deep in my heart and soul <br />these tears burn and sting <br />as they pour out <br />trying to release all of my <br />pain and fears that i have locked away <br />wanting to know more about me and my past <br />but always running into obstacles that last <br />crying myself to sleep <br />never knowing if the closure i seek <br />will come in the mail <br />or as your knock on my door <br />searching for you on the internet <br />even through my home state's adoption agency <br />wondering why you gave up <br />when we loved you so <br />oh mother.....is there anyway <br />you can ever dry these tears i cry<br /><br />Grace Hays<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/these-tears-i-cry/
