Holding Back, I Feel The Tears

My eyes hold back the tears
Am I a shadow of my fears?
Broken burdens left behind
Am I lost, among the whispers of my mind

At first it started, with I don’t smile anymore
Then I turned my head towards the floor

As I look upon the mirror, I am saddened by what I see
Stirring from the very depths, inside of me
No longer shall I look upon my cast reflection
Looking at my own imperfections

Hidden in my heart, are the feelings torn apart

Imminence, I am the open sea
Trouble and tainted are the feelings inside me
My burden is a lonely heart
Lost among the lonely harps

And it is not my choice!
Now I speak with a saddened voice
I speak this way, with a saddened heart
And in my heart there are tears that I impart

My depression leaves me hallowed
And my heart echoes, as the wind blows
Insomnia plagues my sleep
Lonely is the light I keep

My heart’s burden in my sight
Cloudy days and lonely nights
My eyes hold the hallowed tears
That I felt upon my fallen years
