Old tears, locked away for years on end.
Creep towards the surface of my eyes.
Why won’t the tears stop?!?
Why do they torment me like this?!?
Why, now do they choose their freedom?!?
I try to protect my tears with faces of sheer lies.
I try to save my face from the pain of the tears.
When will the tears stop?!?
When will they leave my thoughts?!?
When will they hide themselves?!?
My tears continue to slay my expression.
They won’t stop, they won’t slow!
How do I make them go?!?
How do they keep coming?!?
How do I let them hurt me?!?
The tears keep coming to my face!
Oh, the pain of my tears!
Where do they come from?!?
Who are they for?!?
What do I have to do to make them leave?!?
The world became still,
The trees stopped swaying
The water stopped flowing
The birds stopped flying
All time had halted,
The kids stopped playing
The plants stopped growing
The sick stopped dying
And for that moment I was happy,
All was silent
All was peaceful
All was perfect
Why can’t the world stand still again?
The Violin sits,
waiting to be played
waiting to be heard
waiting to kill
Silently it waits,
perfectly tuned
perfectly polished
Perfectly ready
None will touch its beauty,
No one will play its songs
No one will strike its strings
No one will hear its deadly tune
Still the Violin sits,
waiting to be played
waiting to be heard
waiting to kill all who hear its banefule tune.
