Hold back my tears?

Hold back my tears?

You stand there dressed in black, on a glorious day the Lord took him back
Such beauty in such a mess, you're fragile but so strong, that I will confess
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust, tears are welling but today I won't crack
A shaking cage with blackened face, mascara dripping on your dress

Echoing words of, as you lay here
All I want, is to have you so near
Birds chirping in windy blue horizon
How can I breathe without my Simon

As the soil drops, another tear follows into the ground
Crying is something that the strong do, I know that now
As the sun is belting down please forgive me if I'm not showing emotion
My time for mourning will come but for now I'm dressed in composure

The hole that's left in my heart, I'll never fill with another love
I'll wait until, I sit on them clouds with you in the heavens above
I thank the people around me for not shedding
As I wouldn't of been able to bury your feathers
My angel you kept me strong
My angel you harmed no one
How can this happen on such a day
Should it be raining tears of pain?

Echoing words of, as you lay here
All I want, is to have you so near
Birds chirping in windy blue horizon
How can I breathe without my Simon?
I can't live without my Simon...

Dear Poet Brother WAYNE!!
This write is filled with so many moving and compelling phrases ~

        " As the soil drops, another tear follows into the ground.."
A beautifully crafted remembrance/ tribute to one who has obviously affected you in some profound way ~ or I'm misreading this and it concerns a woman and her lost love that you are writing from a removed perspective.....either way I must say how you continually take such huge leaps forward with your writing and choices in subject matter!!!......the word choices and phrasing here have such an empathic tone that it deserves more than one read!!.....Loved it!!......ALL STARS!!......a pleasure my friend!!......LOVE & ROCKETS!!!.....T xo ???
