My eyes blur with tears I refuse to let fall,
My chest shakes with sobs I cannot release.

This strange wetness in my eyes is foreign to me,
This strange, almost overwhelming sadness is uncommon.

My heart is filled with what only can be described as remorse,
My entire body is nothing but a vessel for the pain.

i swear while reading this, my face contorted into an expression of sadness. i liked the part about being a vessel for the pain. this has good emotion, but i forgot how to do rhyme scheme and i really don't know how to help you make it better, but may be to make it more rhythmitic? good job ;)
