A Single Tear

I was so naive and fearful of the substantive

Of the greying days, of carrying endless weight

And what it really meant to truly mean something

To really be someone who could be loved

So lost in darkness, in and out of selfishness

Hoarding all my dreams was just no way to be

Then you gifted me such a precious thing

A chance to be someone who deserved love

When I heard your cry ring out

It showed me what real strength could be

As a single teardrop fell

And was swallowed by the sea

You outshined the best there was

Rewrote who I could be

When I held you for the first time

I knew I had to survive

As a single teardrop fell
