As the sun sinks down
And the night creeps in
A single tear falls
From eye to cheek to chin.
You had an effect on me
Like no one before
With that wonderful spirit
That I simply adored.
Your laugh and your smile
With your gentle touch
Sent my heart soaring
Turning me to mush.
I remember so clearly
Of the days I spent with you
And now I sigh
For you never really knew.
I have myself to blame
For cowering in fear
Of taking the risk
Of letting you near.
Never admitting
What you meant to me
A fear of rejection
Was all I could see.
No longer do I see you
Since our paths divided
Why do I still think of you?
I haven't quite decided.
Now deep in my heart
A sad little girl sits
In a dress damp and grey
Torn to tattered bits.
She sits in isolation
With only her tears and dreams
Shrouded in darkness
Lost in her silent screams.
And during these nights
Knowing not what to do
The little girl weeps
In remembrance of you.
Her tears are black
From that cold cowering fear
Her eyes are hollow
Where love fails to appear.
Her arms are weak
For she has no one to hold
Her hair is slovenly
She appears so old.
But even through this
She still has hope
That maybe one day
She'll be able to cope.
She still dreams of the day
When she'll find that someone
Who'll bring color to her eyes
Who'll bring her to the sun.
She needs that light
That passion, that flame
To overcome
What she has became.
So she'll wait patiently
Day by solemn day
Silently wishing
The pain to go away.
This little girl
Deep in my heart
Has loved you unwaveringly
Right from the start.
I feel her inside me
In the state that she's in
And I've made my choice
To erase you from within.
So now I'll shed this solitary tear
And in this state of mind
I will move on to better days
And I will leave you behind.
