Tears That Stall

I cry tonight not knowing why, well, maybe I do
But I might just want no one to know, even you

What is this powerful sadness that overwhelms?
It covers its darkness all over my heart’s realms

Falling into the abyss made by its own sadness
Now it crushes my heart! Oh God, the madness!

I lie down on the floor watching the stars hover
Am I only a servant or more? The foolish lover?

Oh but I’ve been a fool of this love for so long
What made this one night turn around wrong?

Tears run down my cheeks as I stare at the sky
Oh I wish I could have wings from heaven to fly

Some tears stay in my eyes, they refuse to fall
They seem to enjoy the stars too, so they stall
