Shoulder

I have no shoulder to cry on,
Which tends to make the tears hurt worse
And since I have no shoulder to cry on,
The tears are forced into a tissue
Or an unconsoling sleeve, my own
Because I have no shoulder to cry on,
I'm left alone with my tears
For only the darkness and emptiness
To hear and respond, with silence
I'm left without a friend to hear me out
Without someone to help ease the pain
Because without that shoulder to cry on,
I am alone with my misery
Feel it burning away in my chest
Like it's about to explode forth
So without that shoulder to cry on,
I'm dying slowly from the inside out
