Relief

Silent tears

On cloudy days

Heartache

That doesn't go away 

My heart does break

It slowly rips 

Fragments fall 

Into the depths

Of my despair

I'm exhausted

Wishing you were here

Sadness coated in despair

Every day

The ache gets worse

Nights are long

And full of hurt

The pain subsides

For brief seconds

Sleep 

Brings slight relief
