10 Silent Tears

You woke up from the myriad of your shattered dreams

Your eyes lit with passion now stare cold and empty.

The lips that used to laugh and smile now mute

Suppressing your soul who cries and screams...

What have they done to you?

Where has your spirit gone to?

You are here in front of me yet you're not.

You are living and breathing, yet somehow you're not...

Pray tell me what it is that I can do

To bring back the life that was lost in you.

The magic in your smile, the hidden songs in your voice

Where have they gone? Where have you gone?

You stand there now, so cold and unfeeling

With the fire gone, you're only a shell of what you once had been.

Have you gone completely and turned into a stranger?

Bare with all emotions, be it joy, love or anger...

Don't you get tired of feeling nothing at all?

Or was it because you're too scared to feel anything anymore?

Why do you hide behind that unfeeling mask?

Is it to prevent anyone from seeing you so scarred?

How can you say you're lonely when you know not what loneliness is?

How can you say you angst when anguish is unbeknownst to you?

How can anything matter when you do not care?

how can you hurt when love is not there?

You stare back at me as if you've never seen me before.

A distant stranger who wallows in nothingness.

Silent tears were cried by your soul in the shadows

As you've spurned the light to darkness...

Who are you and why do you weep inside?

In this empty shell you have chosen to hide?

Why had you let melancholy leave you so broken?

Have you gone and died with the love he'd forsaken?

Who are you and why do you weep inside?

When the whole world knows you've hardened!

How can you play other people's games and win?

When you can't even battle your own demons that rages within...

But I know you and the reason of the tears you've cried

For the pain they've caused you were unbearable!

They've thrown barbs and you've bled so much more

Now you've decided you couldn't bleed anymore...

I do know you and the reason of the tears you've cried

For I felt the blows you've suffered!

With me you've retreated to a place cold and empty

for the one staring back at you in the mirror was me...
