The Profound Sadness That My Love Endures

The profound sadness

that my love endures

makes my eyes well

and I'm not worthy

of these tears

they can never measure

her anguish and sorrow

that only her capacity

can ever truly know

and all that I can do 

is hold her tightly to me

and tell her that I love her

and that soon, all of this will pass

because I do, sincerely 

and, it must

for her, it must pass soon
