Veil Of Tears

There is a veil of tears,
A discomforting morbid shroud.
It shadows the light within me,
So I may not shine in the crowd.

I wear a cloak of loneliness,
It's fabric formed from pain.
As darkness lingers in its folds,
Like a sky amassed with rain.

Desolation exists in my shadow,
For it devours everything that it covers.
Destruction within the dencesed fog,
As all around me it smothers.

There is a veil of tears,
A depressing, silencing cloud.
It turns off the light within, so I may not shine in the crowd.
