A Thousand Tears

A thousand tears before we met
A thousand since you went away
A thousand I will soon regret
And more with each new passing day

A thousand pieces of my heart
A thousand prayers made in fear
A thousand sorrows I impart
But find again each coming year

And I have begged to reach the end
Of sorrow’s bittersweet embrace
That I am hopeless to transcend
That time is helpless to erase
