Last night
I cried
The tears flowing like a ripple
In calm waters with no stone
No reason
The tears
Each one like a friend
A familiar face in a familiar place
But so far away
Tears so many
Countless
Like the countless smiles I see
From a crowd of loved ones
With no love
The tears as empty as the world around me
Even the closest have left
So alone
So very alone
I see the pool before me
All my pain finally
Lain out to see
I cannot look away or
Fake another laugh
These tears
Mine alone
My world and
My fault
And I am so ashamed
So very ashamed
