your head turns when my tears drop
by jamie l olsen 

you sit back and watch me cry, 
knowing the pain i am in.
i'm unable to show emotion 
until the endless tears begin.

an emptiness, so deep inside, 
empowers my hopes and dreams.
everything i thought i knew 
is nothing... as it seems.

a piece of me is dying 
and lying on the floor.
the dreams i had are over 
and can only be no more.

if saddness shone like beauty, 
i'd be brighter than the sun,
gazed upon by wondering eyes 
and loved by everyone.
