the unshed tears

they stay behind my eyes
deep down. shimmering
waiting. wanting to be free

holding myself at bay
keeping everything in
letting nothing in
letting no one near

myself and my unsheded tears
they are waiting
for the time they can be free
where I can let them fall
to free myself form the pain
the sorrow.

holding myself together
day after day
walking around behind hurting eyes
the burning of warning
tears under the surface
waiting for the command to fall

by myself at the end of day
holding myself at the knee's
my burning eyes
I command my tears to fall
running down my face
the pain unleashed
burning healed
the pain gone for at-least a hour
