Tear
I thought about you all night last night and one tear came to my eye.
It wasn't a happy tear or a sad one it was just a tear by and by.
And the more I thought of you the more I could understand the reason for the tear that fell
to my hand.
I thought of all the good times and regret all the bad.
The tear wasn't for a foe but a friend I once had.
I felt the warmth of your loving embrace and the blistering cold of you anger and hate.
The tear wasn't for a friend but a life I once held dear.
And as I sit here and think about the night I just had the tear wasn't for a life but a love gone
bad.
