Tears Are Mine, But The Sobs Are Yours

today too, my heart is heavy,
but it feels different heavy,
the tears that oozed
are mine,
but the sobs
are yours

today too, my heart has fears,
but they are not for myself,
the eyes laced with wrinkles
are mine,
but the pain
is yours

today too, i asked god for you
but they were not for myself,
the soul that bleeds
is mine,
but the worries that i prayed for,
are yours
