Like the ocean on the beach The emptiness erodes my soul My existence Mere echoes of my mind I want to cry out But I stifle the moans I hold back the cascade of tears The darkness closes in I search for a light But I find only emptiness And in the silence I realize I hold back my tears for no one |

Thank you all so much for your response. I didn't know if people would like it. It was based upon a thought that I had one night. I realized that I held back my tears when no one was there. Thanks for the positive response. |
