Companion

Maybe I should weep and let this dreadness out
But tears are no allies of mine, never appeared when required 

Maybe they are my permanent companion 
Who refuse to let go of the abode and tag along forever 

I have wept but never shed tears
That sounds delusional but I say it without fear

I have wailed in agony, millions of time in my head
A place where no one appeared for my comfort 

A place reserved for personal despair 

As for shedding, they don't wish to leave 
They exist in my head, a cluttered place to be

Hello Laveena Makhaik, so nice to meet you. When a sadness piles high our emotions come to a head. Then the tears will fall. We all cry sooner or later. When the tears are held back,it takes something sad to set it off. Then our tears fall quickly from our eyes. have a nice day my friend.
