I'm trying to keep my chin up and hold my head high
Like you bade me to.
But my head is so heavy with tears.
To weak to go on.
And then I catch a glimpse of eyes.
Remember my reason.
And the hope for your happiness
Gives me enough strength to make it until night falls.
When I may lay my head upon my pillow
And drain the very tears that have been weighing me down.
Scared that this may be better for the both us,
And be the end of everything I'm holding onto.
Worried that if you find this to be false,
Your pride will forbid you to rid me of this loneliness and insecurity.
And the salt still trickling from my eyes, seals them shut.
Slumber comes easily from the day's work.

My eyes open to daylight flooding my room,
A brand new morning.
Hoping that today's burden will be relieved
But knowing that each passing day only bring with it
Heavier Regret.
