Never Do I Shed A Tear

Will this pain never cease?
A lump lodge itself inside my throat
It swells, a constant growing betrayal
but never do I shed a tear.

Will this numbness ever find peace
The knife's my salvation, & my curse
a promising relief, a beckoning talisman
but never do I shed a tear

Will this longing ever linger?
Deep inside my broken heart
It slowly hardens each & every vein
but never do I shed a tear.

Will this emptiness never end?
Its endless abyss and vast shores
locking every corner of my mind
but never do I shed a tear

Escape is a continuous whisper
tempting me to cuts ties with reality
with one last breath, the end has come
but never will I shed a tear
