The tears I cry

They build in the corner of my eyes
Building until I can't hold them back
Slowly sliding down my face
Trying to take the pain away
Sadly falling to the ground
Leaving me with no words to say
Just the lonely whimpers in the dark
Until I feel them start again
These tears I cry bring no joy
No love or forgiveness
They only try to comfort me
Waiting for the day
I send then away
The day the smiles will be mine
But until then they shall build and fade and build again
Staying there for me until the very end
Trying to control the grief
Lurking in the darkness
They are my light in a dark world
Saving what once was lost
