I keep my tears to 4am
Away from the eyes and the lies
Dripping my inadequacy
Into the cauldron
I try to keep my tears to 4am
To avoid the burden I’ve become
In the emptiness
of your grace
I sometimes keep my tears to 4am
Desperate to find another
Inch in the well
To dip my empty cup
I fail at keeping my tears to any timetable
Where they mock you and I
With their authenticity
And evaporate
on the road to hell
