I am

 
I am the unshed tear; I am the bleeding heart 
I wander, lost, among the swells of a stormy night 
I hear the thunder roll across the distance 
I see the sun go down and the moon begin to rise 
I want the heavy curtain of night to be my sanctuary and to bring me peace 
I am the unshed tear; I am the bleeding heart 

I pretend to be something I could never be 
I feel the storm surge through my veins 
I touch only the souls who would wish to hear me 
I fear the shadows and the nightmares they bring 
I cry out your name to find no one's there 
I am the unshed tear; I am the bleeding heart 

I understand the painful truth 
I say all things are a balance of light and dark 
I dream of finding a place that will show me my true destination 
I try to find the meaning of my heart, life, and soul 
I hope to understand eternity, love, and to finally awake from the dreams of sorrow 
I am the unshed tear; I am the bleeding heart
