A Garden of Tears

You've awakened something
Buried deep within my heart;
Under a frozen pillar of tears.

Your soft eyes, your comforting smile
Your warmth of friendship and care
Lit my soul to melt my prison of tears.

It pulls, twisting
Desperate to feel that place
A haven to embrace-

Me, 
        my pain, 
                       my sorrows

My heart, 
My love,
My strength.

My childish dreams, 
                           my wishful hopes

Allowing them all free, with tears.

It's meant to be this way;
To open my heart
Spilling tiny seeds wherever I go

With the warmth you imbue,
Seeds, watered with tears
Grow and blossom

A garden so magnificent
Only from tears
                             -set free.
