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

Flower’s tears, icy

Long for summer warmth again

Shiver in the sun

Though tears fall from them

These bleeding hearts do not mourn

They soften the soul
