I look up
as a tear rolls slowly
down my cheek
I think about better days
and wonder if I'll feel that way again
you look at me
with those eyes I know so well
always sweet, so caring and lovable
as though you're always in control of us
But not today
not now
Now you look so far away
like for once as if I never existed
in your heart, in your life, in this world
I gaze at you from afar
looking deep
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 seen
slowly pull me towards you
and wipe the tears from my cheek
