Unshed Tears


Unshed tears... 
Well up when I retrace times that are gone

Moments pregnant with expectation 
Whose hopes were crushed to the ground

Words that tore apart my heart 
While I held my face in a neutral place

People who have come and gone 
Some leaving without an address

A pain so deep I cannot fathom 
A wound so wide it wouldn't heal

Buried in the recesses of my mind 
While I held my face in a neutral place

Lost on purpose with no intention to find 
A wound so wide it wouldn't heal

Somewhere deep inside me is an ocean 
That tosses and turns and makes me want to cry

I look away as though confronted by some alien or stranger 
I flee from the thought of opening that door

What a heavy burden I have laden myself with 
Trudging the long distance journey of life

No one to share it with 
They are all busy with much on their hands

Who would want to speak about heartache? 
Who would mess up a fine young evening with sad tales?

Yet I remember a friend not so long ago 
Who heard my pleas and cried with me

Unshed tears 
Years and years of tears that have gone dry.

One Heart - A Song



One heart that beats
One tear that falls
One heart that cries
One soul that dies.

Can you feel when one heart is crying?
Can you feel when a soul is in pain?
Miles away tucked in a corner
People ache, people pain
Can you feel their heartache?
Can you feel their pain?

We may be some billion people
We may live in nations wide
But our hearts still ache for sorrow
And in pain our hearts do cry
Through the differences among us
There is still one thread that binds
In the myriad faces of people
There is only just one smile.

Join hands for the peace of tomorrow
Join hearts so they’ll beat as one
Learn to care for tears of the others
Learn to love other humans as brothers
So the earth can be our shelter
And together we can call it home.
