My Last Cry

Tonight again I cry

But I take comfort in the reality that this is my last cry

Finally, I’m letting go!

To end these sleepless nights and asking God, why?

And so I smile through the tears as I envision tomorrow,

Without you

It’s been a long time coming and the signs were clear, but i was just too blind to see

Because you were so wrapped up in your own selfish desires

And I was busy trying to make it work, for the sake of everyone but me

So I continued to hold on, though love had lost its fire

But now it’s over

And those once beautiful memories have become nothing but a scar

On the walls of my mind

A symbol of a past I never had, an experience that never was

For I remember only the good times

And I smile...

A smile to mask the pain

The sunshine after the rain

As I look ahead and I cry

One last time
