Wilted
By: SheridanCraneFitzgerald@hotmail.com

I don't want to cry tonight.
I've cried too many times.
I only want to smile,
And pretend that I'm just fine.
But already I can feel
The burning in my eyes,
And I know it won't be long
Before I break down and cry;
For the heartache's much too real,
And the pain is like a thorn,
And I know that I will weep,
No matter what I've sworn.
I feel so much alone
In this crowded place,
Like my heart's been ripped out,
Leaving a cold and barren space.
I know the tears are coming,
So I will weep alone,
My love and faith gone--
Wilted, like a rose.
