Tears

Tear filled eyes and said good byes 
A rhyme so fitting for times gone by 
What the future holds, now that’s a mystery 
Some clues yet to be know, others lay in history 

Longing to know what lay ahead 
Thinking back of the words left unsaid 
A blessing and a curse to think so deep 
From the seeds sewn to the harvest to reap 

What I would give for a good nights sleep 
A night without tears, a moment not to weep 
Visible or not the tears still fall
Behind closed doors away from them all 

Got to keep going, the show must go on 
It’s just another night, mind racing till dawn.
