Tears Run Dry

Your voice rings in my ears.
All the heartache, and tears.
All too often, I wear lies.
And drown myself in silent whys.
Turning my head to all that I do.
Not realizing I'm blaming you.
Recently opening my eyes to reality.
Changing all my points of my mentality.
Not to worry what hurt may come next.
Just reading the simple black and white text.
No hidden gestures, or secret I love yous.
If I'm loved I should know, nothing to loose.
I'll hold my head high and my heart higher.
And let the simplicity of time feed the fire.
All that I  miss is all that I've learned.
And now, you see, the tables have turned.
I live a little more careful, look when I leap.
Keep my thoughts clear and only dream when I sleep.
I'll never get hurt and I'll never again fall.
But I won't ignore the memories when the moment calls.
I'm different now, a little better and a little bitter.
Someday I'll win, I'm not known to be a quitter.
I thank you for all you taught me, all that stands still.
And the next guy will have some big shoes to fill.
Know that I miss you, but time has ran it's course for us.
And I hope we can be friends someday and forget about the fuss.
