I cry. I sob. I weep.
When nobody sees me, when nobody's there.
The tears leave my eyes,
And leave a trail behind-
The trail of more sobs and cries.
Today, the crystal of water dropped unnoticed.
Nobody saw, nobody cared.
Realization came that somebody did;
But nobody ever would.
And no eyes shall be wet,
No trail shall be left
When for once (and all)
My eyes shall dry.

Why so pale and wan, fond lover?
Prythee, why so pale?
Will, when looking well can’t move her,
Looking ill prevail?
Prythee, why so pale?
