Tears

I shed my tears alone with the room turned dark.
Letting no other be touched by my sorrow’s mark.

Burning candles make the room’s light dim.
I wonder at times if I hover on sanity‘s rim.

Sad music plays to drown out the sound.
The door is locked so I won’t be found.

In pain and alone I bear my very soul in tears.
Whether my cause be greatest sorrow or fears.

For hours tears blur the dancing shadows on the wall.
Finally I snuff out the candles and into bed I crawl.

Only my tears wish me goodnight while I weep.
This melancholy night I cry myself to sleep.
