I Felt The Passage Of My Tears

Striving passage of my years
I felt the passage of my tears
Warm tears shed by my frozen heart
With these hollow breaths I felt it start

The quest that dwells beneath the skin
Where I had left my fellow kin
There was no way to say farewell
They had me underneath their spell

And even when the well ran deep
I couldn’t ease my pain with my sleep
Thoughts eluded my state of mind
And yet I enjoyed killing time

Hours pass with a blink of an eye
And all I seemed do was cry
Tears that mark the pillowcase
Left ripples on my tired face

So solemn was my own content
And yet I lived with much regret
