River of Tears 1

Flow silent water
Past my heart of weeping desires
Carrying the hopes and dreams 
Of a lifetime.

Flow silent water
Not even a pebble breaks the surface
I mindlessly drag my hand 
Through the coldness of reality

Flow silent water
Take my soul with you
My life you have already
In your river of tears

Sad when one can't even flow and be lost in the sea of existence, but with everything, I think you're doing remarkable although I'm sure you don't always feel that way.
