Faded Tears
Silence makes herself known
In the starlit hours
As cricket whispers
Breathe your name
Lonliness blooms bountifully
From my heart as flowers
Their heads hang low
Weighted down with shame
An underlying melody
Plays in my mind
As jumbled thoughts race
And unwanted realizations are made
The morning sun
Begins to shine
Yet my hopes and
Tears begin to fade
Back to the Heart-on-Sleeve Corner
