When there’s no expression of despair

Yet tears roll down the face

You know the hurt the tears reveal

Are from the deepest sacred place

The things that are of the world

When lost could never cut so deep

For all of them can be given up

But Love you have to keep

There are souls and things that I have loved

Yet our bonds were possible to part

But I find it impossible to let you go

For you are tethered to my heart

This tugging deep inside of me

Is more than I can bear

And so my soul begins to weep

From an empty lonely stare

There is nothing else that I desire

But to have you by my side

And the only reason that this won’t be

Is because my soul has died

I know that souls are immortal

So someday we will meet

Then you can mend this broken heart

As I lay it at your feet

Until that day the tether I’ll keep

Regardless of the pain

And you will know my Love was true

Expressed only by silent rain
