Tumultuous, the clouds as they sigh,
Gray, like days, they go drifting by
Black, as a moonless, starless night,
Water from my eyes, blurs my sight
Cascading down, perhaps in vain
Are they my tears or just the rain?

Water, frozen, in morning’s air
Place’s itself most everywhere
Lingers, while it congregates
Stops, and thinks and contemplates
Of where the next could possibly land
Perhaps I’ll catch it in my hand
So as not to let it hit the ground
No, I won’t let it fall earthbound
I’ll place it back, onto the branch
And watch, as another takes the chance
Then sigh, as each new one appears
Raindrops, winter’s icy tears

I set sail in the night, I’ve traveled for years
Beneath starlit skies, under amethyst tears
Gently falling, from clouds, into the sea
I watch them, slowly, gather round me
And circle about, this mist, in the dark
Creating a wondrous, beautiful spark
Casting their glow, how my boat shines with them
Like the crown of a queen, Heaven’s own diadem

I wanted to be sympathetic
Her eyes glazed over in tears
I wanted to comfort her through it
But I couldn’t get rid of the fears
She’d battled so many demons
They kept at her, time and again
Hopelessly, she had given up
There was no way she could win
She glanced at me in the mirror
I looked away, I couldn’t take it
Why did this always happen to me?
Is there a chance I’ll never make it?
I’ve wiped away tears, forgotten the fears
Though it happens, on and off, through the years
Dry are my eyes, I’ve stifled the cries
But never shall I be able to sympathize

Sunlight stains the window
I pour myself some tea
Tears flow from my swollen eyes
What has become of me?
I find myself inside this place
No reason to go outside
Afraid someone will see my pain
And I’ll have to run and hide
Away from the morning monsters
And the afternoon creatures I fear
Nighttime comes calling too quickly
And I find myself rather drear
Behind the glass panes, I surrender
To the despair I keep hidden so well
Although I have tried to escape me
I’m still locked in this living hell
