A Thousand Tear Stained-- Poem by Daniel Wittfoth

It's two in the morning
standing in the rain
in front of the local corner store
Is it as real
as it seems to feel
here in this breaking heart

A thousand tear stained
words spoken in anger
each one full of promises broken
A thousand tear stained
dreams fading among the pages of life
turn another day into night
As moments come and they go
sometimes with the best of intentions
you end up watching them all pass by
A thousand tear stained
eyes fighting to see beyond the betrayal of it all

She knew that they were right
the moment he held her
but she denied it all and fell so fast and hard
He lifted her up and for a time
she felt heaven
and all it could offer
Star struck romantic lovers
well more like shooting stars
fading into the dark

Now it's become common knowledge
it's just another story
to be told in whispered voice
and she swears
from this moment on
she will never again give into this

A thousand tear stained
words spoken in anger
each one full of promises broken
A thousand tear stained
dreams fading among the pages of life
turn another day into night
As moments come and they go
sometimes with the best of intentions
you end up watching them all pass by
A thousand tear stained
eyes fighting to see beyond the betrayal of it all.....
