The Feeling

The feeling
You have everything
you have ever ask for.
Friends and family,
they see you smile.

Yet tonight,
here you are.
On the cold floor,
alone in the dark.

You can´t understand it,
so strange is the feeling.
You can´t name it,
that strong it is.

But you know it´s not happiness,
if there´s such a thing.
And you know it won´t go away,
as long as you are here.

There´s nothing you can do,
so just let the tears fall.
Sometimes just life,
is a reason to cry.
