For the first time I saw you cry

Today I held your hand you squeezed it so tight.
A collage of lost thoughts filled your eyes as
you stared  strongly  beyond the walls
Your posture melted slowly  into a  deep lost sadness
and though your head never dropped  your eyes betrayed your heart.
Your vulnerability screamed from 
those deep dark loving  eyes  that I have  always  cherish
and in which I  have always found eternal strength,
eternal   happiness ,eternal life, eternal joy.
But  tonight, for the first time ,
under a ceiling made for such things
in front of  a  faceless  crowd and angel's eyes  I saw you cry.
I am sad for the reason that we all meet in this quiet place
but I am sadden most  that you have shed a tear.
