Pain

My heart is breaking, burning, aching;
An ocean of tears remain unshed.
My mind is flying, fleeing, dying;
Wondering what's been left unsaid.

And in the pain and in the fear,
I "know" that somehow You're still near.
It doesn't help; the pain I feel
Slices my heart like blades of steel.

My face is stolid, silent, solid;
Not a single tear escapes my eye.
My pain is welling, winning, swelling;
I turn, that none should see my sigh.
