One Last Tear

One last drop
On the parchment

One last ink blob
To smear

I don't want to do this

Say goodbye

But you and I both know
I have to

Eyes are red
Fingers bloody

One last drop
I tell myself

One last drop
I scream

Only one more
I'll allow myself

Only one more
My dear

The parchment is ripped

Words are sharp and blurred

No one can know what I write

One last tear
I tell myself

One last tear
To shed

I'll pick myself up
Dry my pretty little eyes
And move on

Warriors don't cry

I'm not weak

I am strong

I want to be
And so I shall

One last tear
To cleanse my face

One last tear
To cry

Goodbye...
