My Farewell Tear

My fear was always my worst souvenir.
With thoughts of you this dread does appear.
To all things of darkness your soul does adhere, 
so, I weep without sleep with a secret to keep-
my dear, this is my farewell tear. 

I cry out to the shadows that bring doubt.
Most of the time I know not what I suffer about. 
If I were the deluge of storms, you’d be the drought,
so, I weep without sleep with a secret to keep-
my devout dear, this farewell tear has no clout. 

I needed clouds of grey to encompass my day.
You know, the ones that bestow such disarray?
I pray for a way that I can heal this dismay,
so I weep without sleep with a secret to keep-
my loving dear, this farewell tear is here to stay. 

When you’re near I steer towards sorrow severe.
I never thought the outcome would be clear. 
Now I must turn a new leaf and persevere,
no more weeping while sleeping with a secret keeping-
my sweet dear, this is my final farewell tear.
