Over These Tears

I used to be different until you came into my life you converted me you taught me to be free than you injected a virus I am so over these tears that spring out like daises I'm becoming void of feeling You say i'm too pretty not to smile but you stab me with daggers The second I start to fall I'm so over this war that's why I put up walls So no sane man would even bother these walls are much too high they might come out bruised and battered The odds for them looked bad their hearts might come out mattered I don't want them to even try I'm safe behind these walls No more tears will fall down these cheeks I will not resent anything by never falling But if i'm so over these tears why do they continue to fall? I put up all these walls I should be safe What I didn't realize at the time was that Lonliness was the worse pain of all By keeping out love I was inflicting myself Thus the tears fall soaking my pillow
