Tears In The Heart

I have tears in my heart But my eyes aren't crying Because the pain is excruciating And hurtful, it's like my fingers Are cut off and thrown in the trash My friend was kind and very beautiful She is now dead. She is no longer with us I am going to church to kneel For her and for humanity My classmate is no longer; she died Death is sadness Death is distress I have tears in my heart I am the victim of a curse That no one can avert I am in pain. I am hurt. Copyright © November 2020, Hébert Logerie, All rights reserved Hébert Logerie is the author of several books of poetry.
