When My Tears Cry
By: Marci
Still waiting in the dark,
Listening for your breath,
Still fighting my way through this loneliness.
I never knew it could be this silent.
Watching,
Waiting,
Hoping,
Praying.
Filling the silence with my own thoughts and regrets.
I just wanted a home,
Not an empty nest.
Everything is so hallow;
Pain is sure to follow.
The tears fall on my pillow,
Each drop makes a splash;
A whole new set of tears appear,
Even more than the last.
The sadness has left,
But the emptiness stays.
Like the puddles do after a long hard rain.
That's what happens when the rain falls from the sky.
Just like the drops when my tears cry.
