Tears.

My life is surrounded by tears.

Tears in the evening for everything lost.

Tears in the morning for all that it cost.

Tears at work for all that’s too hard.

Tears for the battle to keep the facade.

Tears in the shower curled up in a ball.

Tears in the kitchen trying to do it all.

Tears in the past I cried with no end.

Tears but the past they do not mend.

Tears and more tears

Over all of the years.

I cried in the evening

Every night.

I cried in the morning

Out of sight.

Nobody knew that I cried and cried.

I wiped my eyes and my tears all dried.

But now I can cry and when the tears fall.

Somebody knows and hears when I call.

My life is surrounded by tears that fall.

And

I’m not alone with them any more.
