tears to shed

i feel it coming
in the late of night
that lonliness creeping
where there be no light
a pain in my heart
burning in my chest
as silence surrounds me
enveloped in dread
thoughts of tomorrow
dark and black
cling to my mind
as i wonder why
the droplets are forming
in this hour so late
no one to speak to
no one who'll hold
this broken wretch
as the drama unfolds
barriers breaking
as time drags so on
while all i am thinking
"i will be safe in those arms"
but no where around me
is the one who is strong
who can heal my wounds
help me go on
alone and in wonder
i find something that
for so long i thought untrue
even after all this time
somewhere inside
i still possess
tears to shed
