Silent Tears


I wake to nothing once again But I do not cry. I ask myself why must loved ones die. I wake to nothing once again But a tear does not leave my eye. My eye is a rock That the water silently passes by. I wake to nothing once again But my eyes are dry. My eye is a fountain That does not try. I wake to nothing once again But my eyes are wet and full of fears That are revealed through my silent tears.
