Why No Tears Are Falling
by
Jo-El Gerber
My heart should be breaking and everything I once was happy for
Doesn't seem real
It just doesn't seem to be there anymore
What is my heart's deal?
Where do I go from here
What can I do to change things
And make it go back
To how it all used to be?
I've always been told that things always change
But, I don't understand myself anymore
I am not exactly torn apart, but my heart is broken
Yet I have no clue why no tears are falling.
Right about now the depression starts
Here I sit alone and blue
Without anyone who could understand my life
For suddenly I seem stronger than what I used to be.
It's as though I'm sitting back
While watching my whole world shatter
And my dreams and my heart amount to nothing
But still no tears are falling.
In my past a lot of times
I've cried myself to sleep
Over my depressions
But, anymore it seems as though my heart just isn't there.
Perhaps I'm numb
Maybe with all that's happened it's one big nightmare
But, what if it's not
What if my eyes have finally dried up forever?
In my life I've had one dream come true
But then you left and shattered that one too
Perhaps when you left my heart left with you
And that's why now I understand why no tears are falling.
