My Tears

Tears stream down my face
As I am hurt again and again
Dreaming of a better place
Than living in the lion's den

My tears are endless
Just like my pain
My life filled with hopelessness
On my heart it leaves a stain

I look for a way out
To escape from this lonely life
To me my life is no longer stout
Cutting through me like a knife

When will my pain cease to be?
As I watch my tears drop to the sea below
It will always haunt me
Wherever I go

My pain cuts through me
Racking my body with sorrow
With my back to the sky and kneeling on one knee
Standing atop a cold barrow
