Silently I Cry

Silently I cry
Heart shedding tears thru my eyes
Knowing life is full of lies
Knowing you just watch time go by

Tears silently drip then dry
Feeling so alone I cry
Heart beating steady as minutes go by
Taunting me as it doesn't die

Sobs echo throughout my mind
Strength to go on I can not find
Thinking of the past I look behind
Fear and hurt help my soul remind

Remind my mind of what I can not do
Making my day so much worse than blue
A miracle so long over due
If only I could be you

Swallowing gooey lump after lump
Sobs coming down while my heart still pumps
They say everyone's life has speed bumps
Everyone gets broken thrown down in the dumps

But I'm not everyone I'm me
And strength is all used up can't anyone see
Sitting so still how can this be
Blackness won't even come and swallow me
