Do You Know the Times?

Do you know the times,
When tears won’t fall
Though the evidence is there
they don’t seem to care?

Do you know the times
Your heart shatters in silence
The pain,
So deep that: no physical act can express?

Do you know the times
Of longing so keen that you
Cry
Without reason, or care
For the one who is or is not there?

Do you know the times
When your numb as the dead
Though the thorns might hit
The whole world goes cold?

Do you know the times?
Or don’t you?
