Wasted Tears

She sees the shadows lurking,

Wishing she'd find lights that bloom.

The words he says, they always sting,

But she dreams of a soft embrace in a quiet room.

Wasted tears on empty lies,

Catching whispers in the wind.

Looking up through misty skies,

Hoping love will let her in.

He can't see through all his haze,

Wondering why she's so lost.

But her heart is set ablaze,

Dreaming of gentle thoughts, no matter the cost.

She hides behind her fears,

Seeking solace in the dark.

He keeps shouting — no one hears.

But someone else would leave a mark.

Wasted tears on empty lies,

Catching whispers in the wind.

Looking up through misty skies,

Hoping love will let her in.

His mind is twisted, locked up tight,

Thinking she has gone astray.

But she just wants a love that's right —

Someone to light her darkest day.
