A Single Tear

A single tear floats down my face
No words are left to share
I turn and walk the lonely path
No looking back; I do not dare
The final chapter of our time has come
Our tale has found its end
Your daggered words to seal the deal
For heart's wounds no longer mend
A single tear is all that’s left
No words are left to share
I prefer to walk this lonely path
Than my heart leave within your care

About this poem:

Love can be wonderful, but sometimes best to be alone for a while when the love is no longer shared.

Tear-s are truly a gift, expressing for us when words do not suffice

you're courageous to walk your path CloudySky,

"I prefer to walk this lonely path
than my heart leave within your care"

A reasonable line to say, it's so true.

CloudySky, I haven't been this way in quite a while, so nice to read your words again, but, have faith, the lonely walk can be a comfortable stroll, just don't give up and look for the silver lining. Your friends will stick with you and give you comfort.
Always, studecar
