Hiding Water

Alone in the dark they fall

One right after the other

Creating a massive ocean

With waves that could damage a country

No one hears the cries 

No one sees the pain

Though they are all washed away

With the tide that leaves 

Everytime the fallen have seized

They still lay there

In my eyes

Which never seem to dry
