Silent Tears

The silent tears are way too much to bear
These gut-wrenching sobs of mine
And all of this gasping for air

The tears on your cheeks are harder to see
When I realize that this pain in your eyes
Is what is really killing me

Desperate and alone we cling to each other
Wanting and hoping and screaming
For all this pain to be over

Tear stains on your cheeks hurt me so
Much more than even
That of my own

My will is much weaker than ever before
And although you hurt worse
I need you much more

So hold on to me, ever tighter now, dear
I can't bear all of this pain
Without you right here
