My Tears Don'T Dry
I wept today, on sun’s approach
Although the sun flew gently by
My feelings wane, my heart despairs
For I just sit and often cry
My eyes, they run, my heart, it shows
My fragile being has no reply
Other than, to cry alone, so often, too
To feel so sorry and wish to die
I know that’s wrong, to wish that true
But, my eyes are heavily moistened still
I have no heart, it’s shattered now
I must then give up, I have no will
So here I cry, unto the day
As well, the night, it sees me weep
My dying heart, does so control
As tears permit me not to sleep
