I'm alone, the ache so near, A weight within, yet no tear. My heart is empty, my chest is tight, But still my eyes remain dry tonight. The world spins on, the shadows grow, But my grief, like rivers, cannot flow. A dam is built, a wall so high, That even sorrow cannot pass by. I yearn to feel that sweet release, The letting go, the soul's peace, But tears, they hide, they run away, Leaving my spirit in shades of gray. Why can’t I cry, why can’t I weep? Is it a secret I must keep? The sorrow stays, but I can't show The depths of pain I do not know. A silent scream, a voiceless plea, The tears that won’t come set me free, Not in the falling, not in the flood, But in the stillness, I find my blood.
