Lonely Tear

You have hurt me to the core Now I have no more tears Except the one lonely drop That represents all my fears. My fear to love again My heart is so sore Being ripped apart and stomped on I'm surprised there is anymore. My fear to be happy Sadness has become my companion I don't smile anymore I am void of compassion. My fear to trust again I'm accustomed to so many lies I wouldn't recognize truth If it stared me straight in the eyes. The weight of this lonely tear drop Is a cumbersome burden on my soul It spills over, down, down, down The heaviness of it all starts to take its toll. My lonely tear makes the trek down my face It lands in the bathtub of cold water I don't want to live with that Novacane feeling And I feel my head going under...
