Tears Of A Bleeding Heart Poem by Qiniso Mogale

Tears flowing unperturbed
Tears that can't be dried
Tears of despair
Tears of sorrow
Tears of a stabbed heart
Tears of a betrayed heart
Tears of a bleeding heart.

The tears are not caused by foes
The tears are not caused by enemies
The tears are not caused by adversaries
The tears are caused by trusted friends
The tears are caused by close relatives
The tears are caused by loved ones
That's why the tears won't stop flowing
That's why the heart won't stop bleeding
Tears of a bleeding heart.

Had they been caused by foes
those crying would run to friends
Had they been caused by enemies
those crying would run to relatives
Had they been caused by adversaries
those crying would run to loved ones.

Tears of a bleeding heart
Those crying can only run to Christ
Only Christ can truly mend a broken heart
Only Christ can offer the needed comfort
Only Christ can dry such tears
Only Christ can dry such tears.
