Shed a Tear

Shed A Tear

Within debilitating heartache you shed a tear 
The loss of a loved one that you hold so dear
Gone is the that one love you once held so near
Memories overcome you as you shed a tear

Seeking inner strength that no longer is clear
Overcome by all these emotions that appear
Consumed by the sorrow and pain so severe 
Suddenly overcome by grief you shed a tear

Praying for inner strength to adhere 
Hoping that time will heal and endear 
Fearfully your near future is so unclear 
You quietly and solemnly shed a tear 

Releasing all inner sorrow as you shed a tear
Letting go of the uncertainty causing you fear
Becoming aware of your feelings so sincere
In your loneliness you privately shed a tear
