silent tears

I look upas a tear rolls slowlydown my cheek

I think about better daysand wonder

if I'll feel that way again

you look at mewith those eyes

I know so wellalways serious,

so deep and insightful

as though you're always in control

But not todaynot now

Now you look so scared

like for once you don't have the answer

I gaze at youlooking

deep into those hazel eyes

Hoping to understand

why you've said those things

you did

I wonder for a moment

if this is all a dream

if I shall wake in the morning

and be relieved

you look at me with a confusion

I have never seenslowly

pull me towards you

and wipe the tears from my cheek
