Distress

Your tears are for reasons
I never know
Your name, home, or cult
I never know
Your tears remind me
Of my sad days
Of the days when
My life was driven unconciously
By the forces of destiny;
The pain, and the suffering
I have had
When my near and dear all passed away;
The depth of wounds
That was nursed by no one in the world
That my tears could worsen yours,
I will not cry
I shall swallow my sadness,
Barricade my tears,
And leave you alone in the darkness.
