Tears that drown my heart

Tears that drown my heart

I feel the gush of tears in my eyes.

They swell my eye; blur my vision.

Let them roll down the cheek,

And calm down the heart.

No, they hide round the corner,

As they see the bright sunshine.

The lips are faking a smile.

And the eyes, they can’t.

They swell up and up,

But they can’t fall down.

Like the rain coming on earth,

After a cloudy sky.

Rain may come down,

People may break down,

But my tears aren’t falling…

They sink my heart.
