The Art of Love ♡ Uncontrollable Tears
<Uncontrollable tears> 12 Feb 2026
Why do I cry so easily?
My heart swells with an ache
Just by looking at people
Loved ones, friends, strangers
Watching one trample on a flower I was about to pick up
Hearing a casual talk about kittens taken away as pets from their mother
Crying for those whose words have emptied and tears have dried
Sharing a special moment with a loved one or a child
Standing up for an object I gave life to and cherished from young
I was told to grow up
That if I don’t
The things I’d given life to would be discarded
Trampled, taken away, emptied, dead
I tried to grow up
But I became a murderer
I tried to look no further
In blindness I wounded lives
A hardened heart beyond ice
I was dead and death in disguise
Love cries out to me from the heavens
Its blood cries out to me from the ground
Deep within echoes a cry I’ve silenced for too long a time
My heart and soul weeps a pain yearning for resurrection
Love has been shut within my bones it burns like holy fire
Love bled on the cross
For my gain and his loss
Christ died for this murderer
That we may live together forever
Yet why do I kill him again and again?
What love is this my Abba Father?
You said I don’t have to try to grow up
Neither my penalty do I have to pay up
That I just have to give you my heart
Wholeheartedly and faithfully
So take every part of me
For I live to and long to worship
You and you alone Jesus
Pour me out with your living water
A love so divine it never halts overflow
Pure and uncontaminated by the world
Rich and unrestrained by the bow
Never shall I lay my love in withhold
For what perfect love you gave your whole

Reading this deeply emotional poem about uncontrollable tears and the journey of love and faith really resonated with me from a personal perspective. I, too, have experienced moments where tears come without warning—whether from joy, pain, or empathy for others. The author beautifully captures how witnessing suffering, loss, or even small acts of cruelty can stir profound sadness within us, revealing how deeply we are connected to the world around us. Moreover, the poem’s exploration of trying to "grow up" and inadvertently causing harm struck a chord with me. In life, there can be pressure to harden ourselves emotionally to survive, but this often leads to losing touch with our sensitivity and humanity. Through spiritual reflection and grace, the poem suggests that love remains a powerful force for healing even when we falter. The references to divine love, particularly the sacrificial love of Christ, highlight an important source of comfort and renewal. I have found that turning to faith in moments of inner turmoil can bring peace and renewed strength. The imagery of living water pouring out uncontaminated love inspires me to remain open and faithful despite life's hardships. This piece also encourages us to embrace sensitivity as a gift rather than a weakness. Tears are not merely a sign of sorrow but a release and an expression of deep compassion. Sharing special moments with loved ones or standing up for what we cherish often brings tears that connect us more authentically to one another. In a noisy world that can sometimes urge us to suppress emotions, the poem invites us to welcome our vulnerability and allow love to heal our wounds. For anyone struggling with emotional heaviness or spiritual questions, this poem offers comfort and a reminder of perfect, unconditional love that never runs dry.
