Silent Tears

You're gone, stolen away
and no one knows why,
or even the details of how.
My heart feels empty while trapped
emotions are slowly ripping me apart.
My world is crashing down around me.

I look out the window - life goes on,
people passing, talking, smiling.
Just another news item a statistic,
what do they care, why should they?

Surrounded by people yet so alone,
I cry and nobody hears.
