Inside a silent tear

 

Inside a silent tear,

I have a silent dream

That sometimes sails across

the patterns of my mind.

The silence follows me

and dreams just disappear

and then I find myself

inside a silent tear

 

Sometimes I laugh too much

to lose the loneliness.

I'm not the laughing kind.

I can't say anything

I really want to say.

I guess I try so hard

I stumble on the way.

 

I'm always finding love

when it's not meant to be.

What is reality

and can it be defined?

When you're a fool like me

it's never really clear

so you have silent dreams

inside a silent tear.
