Invisible Tears

03 Oct

My tears flow inwardly so no one can see
The immense pain that has become of me
I dare not complain then must I annoy
Someone who is enjoying his or her life

Can the one who is alive feel with the dead?
And the one who rides the cold and quivers through the night
Is equal to one who is lying warm in bed?

My tears flow inwardly so no one can see
And my cries are mistaken with laughter and smiles
Like a clown that has a smile drawn on her mask
But no one knows what lies beneath that mask

My tears flow inwardly so no one can see
And seep through my veins then mix with my blood
I wait patiently for the night to come
Then hide between my blankets and pray through the night

‘
I doze for a moment and dream of my son
Then reality kicks in and the nightmares begin
My soul then curses all who had caused
My son to be taken…. away from me
