Where did it go…
What happened to me…
One day I owned it…
The next, it was free…
Leaving me pleading…
For it to return…
Begging it to listen…
End my aching burn…
And escape the dark cloud…
Hanging over my head…
Because it gave me hope…
But it also misled…
As it left me helpless…
And it’s left no trace…
So I chase its memory…
But I can’t remember its face…
Just the way that it felt…
When it promised it was mine…
As even in darkness…
And the day to day grind…
It helped me see light…
And feel rain on my skin…
Yet now it has left me…
Nothing ever gets in…
My heart is locked and bolted…
There’s no beat, no boom…
I stare at the walls…
I’m trapped in this room…
Talking to the silence…
Worrying about consequences…
As it’s muted my soundtrack…
And it has numbed all my senses…
Because it was my pride…
And it was my joy…
Yet I never realized…
It could fucking destroy…
Leaving me a pale shadow…
Of the person I used to be…
Forever locked in this limbo…
Floating in its dead sea…

Eye Will Not Cry 
That was pretty deep, very. This definitely went along with your tag name “Eye will not cry.” You know what else you can do in the dead sea? You can float effortlessly … floating away to a freedom of limbo.
Powerful. Thing is, hope, if not deferred, brings back the joy and life.
