One Single Tear

One Single Tear
Slips Slowly Down Her Face
It Drops To The Paper
She Holds In Her Hands

How Many Times
Has She Read These Words
With Each Time A Tear Slips From Her Eyes
As It Drops To The Page
The Writing Smears
But She Doesn't Even See It
The Words Are Burned Into Her Mind
Forever A Memory
Burned In Her Soul

One Single Tear
Slips Down Her Face
To The Photo She Carries
Of Their Wedding Day
The Love In His Eyes The Tears On Her Face
How Could She Have Known
It Would End Up Like This
He Found A New Love
He Says Its His True Love
The Crash On The Floor
She Never Hears
All She Can Think Of Is That
One Single Tear

Silently She Slips
Into Her Big Bed
As She Wraps Her Arms
Around His Pillow
She Feels That One Single Tear
Slip Down Her Face
She Recalls When He Left Her
All Those Weeks Ago
The Pain Of His Walking Out The Door
He Never Looked Back
Never Really Cared
About That One Single Tear

One Single Tear
Slips Down Her Face
She Never Dreamed This
Can She Do It Alone
She Puts Down The Phone
And Looks All Around
Her Hands Wrapped Around Her
Too Soon To Feel It
But Knowing It's There
One Single Tear
For Her Baby
One Single Tear
For The Love She Has Lost
One Single Tear
For The Dreams All Shattered
One Single Tear
For The Pain In Her Heart
One Single Tear
One Single Tear
