Alone (The Fatal Tear)

Everyday is like a note on my desk
Of just how alone I really am
I gets harder each and everyday
Just to keep my head up

Every time I read that note
A tear comes to my eye
The tear every girl cries
When she realizes she's alone

That same tear fell from the young girls eye
When she looked at the positive pregnancy test
And ran after the boy
That was once running after her

That same tear fell down the teenager's face
As she silently brought the gun to her head
Whispering, "They will all see now"
As she closes her eyes and takes control of her own destiny

That same tear fell down the young woman's face
When she opened up her positive HIV test
As she drove off from what once was her home
That home now filled with people who won't accept her back

All I can do is take it day by day
To keep that fatal tear from coming to my eye
All I can do is keep myself far away from that desk
Keep myself from reading that note, everyday.

That reminder that I am, yet again, alone
It's getting cold I'm telling you
Cold, here sitting all alone
I need to feel that warm embrace

I need that one person to wrap their arms around me
I need that one person to whisper quietly "I love you."
I need to feel needed once more
I need saving, from the loneliness everyday
