Bathing in the tears on my pillow

Which I cry out every night

Alone with my sadness

When I turn off the light

Buoyancy by day

Tearful at night

Alone with myself

With no future in sight

I release all my woes

Which I bottled up

I can't associate with my innerself

and there is the rub

Tear from me this entire life

I'm old tired and satisfied

A whole life lies behind me

I long for my friends who already died
