I sit here softly weeping
wondering why
These tears I cry burning hot
the pain so deep
From words not thought
Others have spoken the words cut deep
Touching my scars
releasing the poison of my past
so it seeps once more
into my present
Here I sit struggling through tears
to overcome, this pain, this fear
Struggling to recall the words of someone dear
The words which soothe my soul and ease the pain
The struggle so hard without him near
so here I sit softly crying
A piece of my soul slowly dying
