Silent Tears

Silent Tears


Last night before I went to bed
Thoughts of you filled my head
Though I have not cried this way in many years
Onto my pillow fell six silent tears


The first was for your smile that I miss
And your tender lips I long to kiss
The second was for your angel face
And thoughts of your loving embrace


The third came as no surprise
As I thought of your beautiful eyes
The fourth came rolling
Instead of my pillow, it should have been you I was holding


The fifth came for one reason alone
I felt my love for you wasn't fully shown
I really love and miss you
And there just fell the sixth silent tear .
