A Silent Tear

Silent words across a screen.
How could they mean so much to me.
I promised myself I would not cry.
Then a silent tear falls from my eye.

What did I do, what did I say,
To make you change your mind, the day you went away.
Everyday, waiting for a sign

To let me know, you might still want to be mind.

And other day comes and goes,
I want to write, but I can’t, I know.
You said you needed me more than I needed you,
Why would you say that, if you knew it wasn’t true?

Why did you say you loved me?

Then turn around and set me free?
I love you and want you,
But I know I can’t make you love me.
