Tears

Tears are streaking
from my eyes
down my face
which i lift to the skies

why do i still cry
why do teardrops fall?
for its already happened
so many times before

i should be immune
i shouldn't care one bit
and yet i am still here
so overwhelmed by it

it cant possibly still matter
after all Ive been through
all i asked is that you showed me
love so pure and true

you couldn't even do that
what more can i expect?
all i can do is lie back,
and silently take your threat

threats against my freedom
threats against my rights
i guess i shall just lie down here
and switch off the lights.
