I Weep and Cry and Shed These Tears for You

I weep and cry and shed these tears for you,
Sometimes when the loneliness bears
Hard upon memory’s back and tears
Away at the images once so true
Of love and love and love and love.

I weep and cry and shed these tears for you,
Sometimes for the touch of whom, then
Once stood angled delicately beside me when
Our love was young and deeply hued in purest blues
Of love and love and love and love.

I weep and cry and shed these tears for you,
Sometimes when the fear of the never
Creeps inside my deepest vein to sever
All the cords of hope and faith that’s due
From love; our love, lost love, eternal love.
