One Tear
One tear, one cheek
Life so little, so bleak
Hope so near, so far away
No longer words here left to say
All the pain it falls like rain
Soaks the heart and leaves its stain
Split in two you stand there left
A world alone both mute and deaf
Time goes by, life stands still
Ill imaginings from a choking pill
Hallucinations; the loss of mind
To cover up where no one can find
A heart that's stripped so gone away
For the hope of no one left to stay
Out of control, the mind far gone
With hope no one will see what's wrong
Violently the tears they stream
Only to wish it were a dream
Life's mistakes, constant heartbreaks
Where the soul just learns to ache
With nothing left, there's none to take
But a hope for love and one's own sake
With that lonely tear and dampened cheek
We sit alone, so cold, so meek
For a love so real, we can only seek
And when we finally find it, we'll be complete
