If Her Tears Fall

If her tears fall with no one around 

Would you still be able to see it?

Some days are hard 

Others are harder

Choices are made that change her world

They can never be replaced

The love she had now fades to grey

As the passion she holds smolders to ash

All she can do is wallow and cry but, 

If her tears fall with no one around 

Would you still be able to see it?

The bitterness of life is unbearable 

The pain that continues is crippling

She wonders if it ever subsides 

The answer turns to no And everything continues 

They go about their day knowing they are loved 

She goes home wondering if love is even possible.

You think she is odd, or over emotional

But you do not see life as she does 

Broken and lonely 

Constantly looking for things that will love her

 as she pours what's left of her soul into these hopeless goals.
