Salt Of My Tears Poem by Leanne Bryan

Love is patient
Love is kind
Love is treacherous
Love is blind

Your heart for a while, I did borrow
But now I am left with torment and sorrow
The days are gone where my light did shine
But God said: 'You will be just fine'

Unrequited love is harsh and cruel
It almost feels like a spiritual duel
Where all your emotions run wild
But where common sense should rule

Love opens slowly like an orchid
Just like my love for you did... slow but rapid
Salt of my tears made it lose it savour
Just like the red spots remind us of the blood of our Saviour

My days now will be long nights
And my nights will be long days
But because I found you
I knew I could love again...
