Wasted Tears

If no one can see These tears one cries Then they don’t matter Yourself you told this lie The day passes Your painful emotions you hold in Until darkness sets And they resurface again Your heart falls heavy Like the branches of a weeping willow As tears stream down your face And softly land on your pillow That empty feeling At that point seems to grow and grow As others sleep soundly Your pain they’ll never know You’re lonely and tired You grow weary and weak But the next day comes And of your sorrow, you’ll never speak That laugh in your soul And the song in your heart Has faded away And from you it does part That light in your eyes No longer gleam And the night grows colder So it does seem But for those that you cry for And they do not know Is it worth all the agony If to them emotions you’ll never show So if a tear falls And no one can see Does it have any importance Or should you just let it be I’m not really sure But I have cried for many years And nothing seems to change All I’m left with are wasted tears
