Veil of Tears

Whispers in the silence, shadows on the wall

I learned to hide my tears when they start to fall

In the depths of night, where the heart won't beat

I wander through memories, where the past and present meet

Hiding behind a smile, a mask worn so thin

As the echoes of laughter drown the pain within

But in the quiet moments, they come creeping back

These ghosts of my sorrow, they keep me on track

So I brace myself with echoes, a lullaby of fears

I’ve learned the art of silence, concealing all my tears

I learned to hide tears when they start to fall

Like raindrops on a window, they mask it all

I wear a coat of armor, faceless in the crowd

With every sigh, I’m stronger, but I’m quietly bowed

Days turn to years, yet the scars they remain

Every step a journey through the wind and rain

I dance in the daylight, but the moon knows my name

In the shadows of my heart, life’s a complicated game

But deep down I'm hoping, for a break in the dark

A spark of understanding, just a fragile little mark

To show that I’m still breathing, with every rise and fall

In the symphony of whispers, I hear my heart call

I learned to hide tears when they start to fall

Like raindrops on a window, they mask it all

I wear a coat of armor, faceless in the crowd

With every sigh, I’m stronger, but I’m quietly bowed

Can you see behind the curtain?

The storm I try to tame

Will you catch me if I stumble?

Or just heartlessly refrain?

I’m seeking just a heartbeat; a listener in the night

To share the weight of silence, under stars shining bright

I learned to hide tears when they start to fall

Like raindrops on a window, they mask it all

I wear a coat of armor, faceless in the crowd

With every sigh, I’m stronger, but I’m quietly bowed

So here I stand, don’t know how to feel

With layers of emotion that seem too surreal

As I learn to hide tears when they start to fall

I just want to be heard, I just want to be whole
