These Falling Tears of Mine

Falling from the windows,
To my shattered soul.
Running slowly down the curves,
Of my body whole.

Darkened rings,
Underneath my swollen eyes.
From the make up I always put on,
So I could try to hide.

I tried to hide my true self,
Behind the shadows of liner & mascara.
But as soon as I was alone,
I cried over everything I cared.

I held more sadness,
Than anyone ever knew.
Everyone thought I was okay,
If only they cared to think it through.

It always appeared,
That I was just fine.
While inside I'm drowning,
In These Falling Tears of Mine.
