A single teardrops falls,
staining the flesh with pain.
Inside, my mind recalls,
remembering the way again.
A single reminder of the past,
the darkness giving over to light.
Realizing this was not the last,
the cloud removed from my sight.
Inside that single teardrop lies,
like a lonely ship at sea,
The mystery hidden inside the eyes.
All the things that are yet to be.
It's with this single lowly tear,
I remove you from my life.
I have nothing left to fear,
I am free from pain and strife.
I do not look behind me now,
only ahead at what could be.
I found the strength inside somehow.
I looked in the mirror and saw; me
I was able to forget your taste
and save those memories for another year.
And leave the memory of your face,
locked inside a single tear.
