These Tears I Cry

My heart aches with no reason why.

Though things are fine, these tears I cry.

Those I know don’t understand

and half the time I’m just like them.

 

I’ve searched and sought. 

What holds me bound?

What weighs my heart? 

What brings me down?

 

Perhaps it is a cry from he

who sits alone, worse off than me.

Who wishes life were at an end,

and could be saved by just one friend.

 

But he has none and so I hear

of his sad end with distant ear,

and though I go upon my way

inside a silent stone is placed.

 

And so it goes, day after day

until my soul so much doth weigh.

 

So, when you look into my eyes

and sadness see don’t be surprised.

These tears I cry and hold within…

will forever be the tears for him.
