Don't know

it seems unfair that love always comes w/tears, Chi. even so, your poem is sad, yet pretty...

Yes, that's sad. It's quite understandable when tears of joy or of sorrow water your eyes. But sheding tears, feeling desperate although being loved, is somehow disquieting. Thanks for reading me, John!

At least you a KNOW you're loved, that's more than many!
But yea, that broken soul thing will truly unravel you inside...

It's kind of disarraying being loved by someone when you've been always told that you're not worth it. I know what you mean, Poe, and I'm thankful for your insightful and kind words.

crying keeps the soul lubricated.

we all need to off load somewhere, somehow

good write

That's a statement I love! Crying keeps the soul lubricated. You should use it somehow in a poem! Thanks for the kind comment, Speak!

it's not enough to be loved
by someone else, of course...

its like when someone praises
something you've written, if you're
not happy with it yourself it means
little...

Your first two lines make me cry again.
Thanks for those thoughtful and thought-provoking words, Paul.

With love comes pain, I hope you are able to smile soon :)

I am, dear Sara, despair never lingers long :-). I'm a tumbler! Glad about your heartfelt comment!

Tears are important, cleansing and necessary part of consoling the self..and the broken soul.

Some tears have the quality of glue, fixing sorrows invisibly to our eyes. Your so right and I thank you so much for your insightfulness!

Okay you truly got me with this one ... touched - torn & teared.

Beautiful.

I'm glad to have touched you with this one since it's one of the most authentic pieces I've ever written. Good to know people who can feel it.

Your haiku are so beautifully touching. Thank you for sharing them.

Hi girlundone!
Thank you so much for your kind words and for reading me! Glad you stopped by!

My dear Miss Chi. Crying should lubricate the soul. But after a time it's lubrication effect can become erosion. It's how we get washed out emotions. You never fail to hook me Miss Chi. I thank you again.

Dear Twitch, I'm so glad you left your always much appreciated and insightful words on this piece. Good to hear from you! Thank you so much! I clearly like the 'hook thing' :-).
