Teardrop

He sheds a tear for every memory he made with her.
With every tear that falls, he hopes the memory will fall with it.
A tear for the first time he laid eye on her.
A tear for the first time he said he loved her.
A tear for every night she spent in his arms.
He sheds a tear for the first time she lied to him.
A tear for the first night he stayed up waiting for her.
A tear for the cologne on her dress.
A tear for the scratches on her thighs.
And tears for the lies he told himself to excuse it all.
He sat there and shed these tears until he felt the memories had all gone.
And then he she one more for the parts of his heart he had lost.
