A Life Without You

I listen to angels tears,
They're pouring down my window pane.
They're tapping begging to come in,
But for some reason, I just refrain.

I haven't seen sunshine
Since the day you left me alone.
Stranded with no guidance,
But raised with instinct and self-control.

I wasn't dependent on you,
However, I needed your guidance.
For some reason you couldn't handle that,
Like raising me was your weakness.

At first it was painful,
I cried everyday,
But I'm learning to deal with it.
I'm going the right way.

I thought my strength was failing,
That I'd never smile again.
But I feel myself getting stronger.
On my own two feet I stand.

I can't say I won't need you,
your advice, guidance and reasons.
I can say I'll be fine without you,
your insults, fights and opinions.
