"silent tears"

Posted April 21, 2009

Alone in my room of solitude,

Watching as a candle flickers, illuminating

My small dark corner of loneliness.

Thinking my day over; how selfish I had been

Glittering tears begin to trickle down my face,

As I lay awake

It’s hard to love,

When you don’t have a heart

So strange to want,

When you don’t have a need

The candles flame is dimming

Its wax is melting into tears. “Stay alive”

I tell the candle but it feels as if I am talking to myself

“How can I live? Cries the candle“when I have no need”

The flame dies out and I am left with nothing

But these silent tears trickling down my face
