Teary Eyes

by Sherry Lynn

Teary Eyes

I laid in bed tonight and cried
Tears of loneliness
With heartbreak filled my eyes

In a world full of people
I've isolated myself somehow
Maybe because I'm afraid
Of being hurt once again

Hiding my feelings
Is what I do best
Never shall I be the first
To confess

Running away
Is how I survive
Rather easy to do in my life

Anytime I begin to love
I get beat on once again
Another tactic I suppose
To prevent me from gaining control

I laid in bed and cried tonight
Tears of loneliness with heartbreak
Have become my life
