A single tear (original)

A Single Tear
By
Faye Pollett



I wish I could end it all, with a single tear
But the only way to stop the pain, is to cut it out

The feelings would be gone, and the pain would be no more.
But the only thing that’s stopping me is the blood would stain the floor.
A constant reminder, of what I did to stop the pain, would haunt me forever  more

I suppose I could take the gun and stick it to my head
And then I wouldn’t have to face the world again
I could close my eyes, and kiss the world goodbye
And then I wouldn’t have to cry

But for now I think I’ll put away the gun, and hide away my knife
Take a drink and close my eyes and hope I can keep my life………

The End
