Today I saw you…
Really saw you…
At your best…in all your glory.
I imagine…the way he sees you…
Olive skin radiant, long curled mocha tresses bouncing and blowing perfectly in the wind.
Round jubilant espresso orbs filled with love to the point of overflowing…
My heart aches for you a little…because I know…
And I wonder if you know…or when you might…
That it will never be enough.

Just a tear
Really no big deal
Just a tear
Something I don’t feel
Just a tear
One nobody sees
Just a tear
Wiped away with ease
Just a tear
Really nothing at all
Just one tear
As the final curtain falls

Suspended in darkness…
Tethered to that which I cannot see…
I call out to you…reach for you…
but there is no response.
Only laughter in the distance…and it
becomes cacophonous as I realize the
coiled tether in my hand has gone slack…
and I am floating away into nothingness.
