Tears fall at night

Written in 1996

Daylight fades, nighttime is falling

The smile fades, sadness is calling

So many feelings, a flood of tears

Someone to talk to, my greatest fear

But how can I talk, when I’m not really sure

Of why I am thinking or feeling this for?

Living day by day, only to find

I’ll never know when, happiness will shine

Who is to know why, tears fall in the night

The flame of sadness, burning so bright

But as dawn approaches, the flame disappears

Another new day, hiding those tears

As long as I look happy, they will ignore

The fact that I’m not, so I’ve closed the door

The door to inside me, which I can no longer open

Locked forever, causes only frustration

For he tries to unlock, but to no avail

I try letting him in, but always fail

Who will know when, this will subside

So until then, my hurt continues to hide

Daylight fades, nighttime is falling

The smile fades, sadness is calling
