Tears threaten to fall,
From undeserving eyes.
A shoulder to cry on cannot be found.
Trapped amidst loneliness,

And though tears may threaten,

Vanished beneath lies,
Into the past.
Behind eyes filled with pain,
Tears still fall down,
Though none can be seen,
And none can be found.

A shoulder to cry on is no more.
The best shoulder to cry on is that of yours.
