Tears? Who?

The tears got dried
Not on my cheeks
Not on my pillow
But in my eyes, empty gland, empty being

The eyes got sore
They blamed not my sleeplessness
They blamed not past
But my mind, and the demons

The demons never got tired
They fed not on my thoughts
They fed not on my insecurities
But my fear, fear of death

The death smirks, an evil one
It got off, not on my fears
It got off, not on my sickness
But by my pain, a pain you feel but can't point out.
