These Tears I Cry
My heart aches with
No reason why
Though life is full
These tears I cry
Those who are near
Don’t understand
At times with them
I even stand
I’ve searched and sought
What holds me bound
What weighs my heart
What brings me down
Perhaps it is
A cry from he
Who sits alone
Worse off than me
And wishes life
Were at an end
He could be saved
By a mere friend
But none has he
And so I hear
Of his sad fate
With distant ear
And though I go
Upon my way
Inside a silent
Stone is placed
And so it goes
Day after day
Until my soul
So much doth weigh
Thus when you look
Into my eyes
And sadness see
Don’t be surprised
These tears I cry
And hold within
Will forever be
The tears for him
