The Art of Poetry

Teardrops

Teardrops

Teardrops roll down my eyes
Just as rain falls from the sky
Left a track inside my heart
As you dared to say good bye
And no matter how hard I try
This hurt will never go away
If you only knew how much I wanted you to stay

Each time I fall asleep
Your face is all I see
Dreaming of you; night after night
Coming home to me
I wish time could rewind back
To the way things used to be
When there was no emptiness
And this house was filled with happiness
I just need to feel whole again
And I want this pain to completely end

I'm tired of shedding these tears
We've been together for so many years
That's why I still can't believe
You and I have drifted apart
Just want you to know
I've always loved you from the start
Though you have weakened my bones
The day you left me all alone
But I will remain strong
As our memories live on
Plus I can't stop thinking about you
For you were my beautiful dream come true.
