Tears

Tears held like prisoners behind my eyes threaten to break free with every passing minute.
My body is broken but nothing can match the pain that fills my heart.
A screaming past breaks free each night, haunting my sleep and filling my mind with endless fears long buried.
I hope to find hope in this lost place. Lost for words, lost for feeling.
An emptiness so vast and void has replaced where love once resided. I find myself asking to many questions with no possible answers. Will I get up and walk freely away from this misery, or will I become trapped in the sadness that so desperately wants to hold me captive.
What is a smile with no one to share it with.
Tears need no company.
