What is the reason that makes me cry 

every time I sit in a church pew? 

As the hymns harmonize 

tears dance down my face. 

The light shining through the stained glass 

reacts with my salty tears as if they are a glass prism.

The organ bellows my name 

and taunts me

because I do not belong here.
