Teardrops

As teardrops appear on her aging cheek, she thought of the cold night ahead; Her chances for love looked awfully bleak - sleeping alone again in her bed. She thought of the cold night ahead, with ghosts of past boyfriends dancing in her mind. Sleeping alone again in her bed, a happy ending, nowhere could she find. With ghosts of past boyfriends dancing in her mind, her chances for love looked awfully bleak; A happy ending, nowhere could she find as teardrops appear on her aging cheek.
