I Cry a Tear-less Cry

I longed for solitude

That I may cry my heart out

And wash my woes away

I waited and waited long

But, alas, when alone

My tears had dried unshed

So, I cry a tearless cry

I longed for a soul-mate

That I may talk my heart out

And ease my taut nerves

I waited and waited long

But, alas, when he came

The words had died unsaid

So I sorrow a sorrow dumb

Thought out the lines when
