Tears falling on my keyboard tonight...
Not tears of longing or sorrow..
But tears of the deepest night..
Looking for a way to explain..
A way to cope with the end..
A friendship lost before it started..
There was a glimmer of hope, once..
But now that has faded into the dark..
Wondering what to do with the next step..
Wanting to try and look the other way..
But when I look up from the keys..
I see that all has gone the worst way..
I'm not one to want pity, nor sympathy..
But just for once, why can't I win..
Superman is but another face..
Strong is what I want others to see..
But if you know me, truly know me..
Then you know that I'm not so..
Those who bring sunshine to others..
Get to keep none for themselves..
Oh but don't worry, I'll be fine..
Just as every time before this,
But maybe the next time,
Just maybe,
I'll win..
