Single tear

Seeing you leave was the hardest thing
i could possibly do,
growing up knowing your there
and then you leave me when i need you.

i remember the day you left
so vividly and clear.
the stormy night and cloudy weather,
it all seems so near.

you sat me on the porch
and you held me tight
you told me to sing softly
to take away the fright.

you turned to me and said
to never give up hope,
that you would always be there.
and that there was no reason to mope.

but even though i tried,
the feeling stayed the same.
emptiness grasped my body.
i felt like going insane.

i could no longer hold it in.
so i let it all out.
a scream from beneath my body
and then i started to shout.

i yelled at you for leaving
and i yelled because you lied.
you said you'd always be there.
and now i just want to hide.

but now i could no longer take it.
and as my words grew weak.
a single tear stared to form.
and slowly ran down my cheek.

you said that you where sorry
and that it was something you needed to do.
you wiped away the tear.
And then started to cry too.

i wish i could re-do that night
and ask for you to stay.
Because four years with out you in my life.
was to big a toll to pay.
