I Grieve Alone



When I grieve I grieve alone
No one can know my ache

No one can dry my tear
Nothing can ever atone or remove the bier
When I moan I moan alone
No one can mute my yowl
Nothing can ever atone or remove the howl
When I mourn I mourn alone
No one can feel my pain
Nothing can ever atone or remove the bane
When I scream I scream alone
No one can hear my yell
Nothing can ever atone or remove the h***
