TEARS OF FIRE FLIES

My tears have filled the seas,
Yet my eyes are full of rivers;
I have tried to lay to rest
This load of dear loss,
Yet my heart remains heavy,
With the weight of mountains.
I feel the thunder of regret,
In the middle of my chest,
Yet I sit still, afraid.

If only I could hide away from this pain,
In the center of this earth.
I try to swallow the molten rock,
Yet it chocks my throat.
Is there something I could have done?
I question my helpless mind.
I feel like tearing my soul apart,
Yet I am unable to act.

If only I had a shimmer of hope,
Like the flicker of a fire fly,
In this overwhelming dusk.
When the Storm clears,
And the Nimbus clouds go away,
I will know you're happy,
With every twinkle of the morning star;
And I will live the rest of my nights
With the flashing of diamonds.
