Holding Back The Tears

A picture that gets smeared in white

And my fragrance that seems to have faded away

All get concealed by the glaring cloud

My heart that has no words

Slowly starts to move my feelings

Those times that slipped through

Are in my hands

I’m holding back the tears

I walk trying to lessen the weight of my heart

To a place that is neither close nor far

Where a different me stands

I will not cry

I bring my two hands together again

To a place that will hear it

As I live though these unmemorable times

Though it seems stupid, we`re always together

The pain that I want to let go

Dries the tears that flows through my body

I’m living with my tears

I walk trying to lessen the weight of my heart

To a place that is neither close nor far

Where a different me stands

I will not cry

I’m holding back the tears

I run adding to the weight of my faith

To a place that is neither high nor low

Where a different me stands again

With a small smile I can laugh
