Tears

Let the tears fall where they may. Obvious emotions are clear Where there was once closeness, there’s distance Such a distance even though you’re lying right here next to me Let the tears fall where they may. I have become invisible in my own space As if my physical presence is no longer desired by you You no longer look…at ME Let the tears fall where they may. Hard to regain the trust that was broken Lies fed lies and I pretended to believe My heart too broken to speak its own truth Let the tears fall where they may. No time spent together alone, just talking No time just to call and say ‘hi’ anymore No time…at least not for me Let the tears fall where they may. Such delight taken in your projects Such enthusiasm in your friends and casual visits I am excluded from your actual life Let the tears fall where they may. I don’t compare myself to others Yet I’m reminded that you do…compare me to others Yet, like you, I can only be myself Let the tears fall where they may. Acceptance of changes and circumstances outside my control Sometimes denial to myself that my eyes see what they see Sometimes denial that my heart knows what it knows Let the tears.. Fall
