I Will Not Weep
I will not weep for you.
Too often did the tears rise and fall
like salted hourglasses holding the deluge back.
You slipped away quiet, unheard by the clock on the wall
and our rainbow world slipped into black.
I shall weep again.
Memory and heartache go hand in hand
and the slightest thing tugs at my heart.
You were my everything, my greatest fan
yet death's distance draws us apart.
I have cried a million tears.
Still your face lies clear in my blurred eyes
and as I wipe them all away
my heart asks and wonders why
you could not stay.
