Tears Of Words

I sat alone 

With my thoughts by my side

Before I could hide, I cried

The tears kept rolling

Each drop a word

That I wanted to say

Instead I wiped the sentences away

The handkerchief soaked and wet

With the words I never said

I would tell you how I wept

But it would hurt you to the core

It would break your soul

And that's never my goal

So instead the conversation kept flowing

Upon my cheeks it kept going

Without you ever knowing
