You don't have to be so silent
so cold
you caught me off guard
didn't you see me?
your words get through
i am in denial
seeing your tears
i've taken you inside
couldn't dodge every raindrop,
sadly.

i don't have to be so selfish
so sad
you caught my illness
i saw you.
my words, they hurt
i'll agree with myself
your eyes shining
you're twisted about my heart
couldn't see every tear, for i
dried them, first.

even in a dark night,
a night of stars,
without the guidance of moon,
tears shine through the black.
