Tonight I Weep

Tonight I weep. Awakened by a memory As my sleep began to part. Echos of past fallen tears like footprints on my heart. So many gifts God gave to me each one was heaven sent. I didn’t know what love was, or even what it meant. Love for me was a carnival I played them all like games. So many hearts were broken I can’t recall their names. The best of all life’s lessons are learned by going through. I didn’t know what love was. Til my heart was broken too. Tonight I weep, but not for me. It’s a different drummer drumming. Tonight I weep, but not for me I know I had it coming. These tears are those that still remain from promises unspoken. Tonight I cry its not for me. But for the hearts I’ve broken. Edwin C Hofert.
