The Tear

One single tear can mean so much.

Threatening to fall as you watch your love walk away
With the knowledge that this is the last time
That you will ever see or hear from them again,
Standing there with the knowledge that you weren't
Good enough for them to call you their everything,
Behind the walls that you keep building,
Is me the tear.

I'm the one that you refuse to allow to fall because
You know that once you start you won't be able to
Stop more of me from falling down,
I'm the one that you will not allow anyone to
See even though those closest to you know that watching
Your love walk away is tearing you apart,
I'm the one that you refuse to let show because you
Know that your love will just ignore me,
Is me the tear.

When you're alone at night and everyone
Else is sleeping I'm the one that will slide down
Your face even though you won't know about me,
I'm the one that you won't know about because I'm
The one that slipped out even though that's the last
Thing that you need or want.
I'm the Tear.

Those closest to you will see what remains of me and
They will ask you questions which you'll either
Deny or blow off because that's just the person
You believe that you have to be,
I'm the first of many that you will shed in the future
Once it finally dawns on you that your love will
Never return and you'll  call them yours again,
I'm the first tear of many to come
