I Cannot Cry
I sit on the porch now, overlooking the yard and the drive
And you pulling away for the last time.
It’s hard to see you thru all of the hurt that is covering my eyes.
I won’t cry until you are gone is what I tell myself
I won’t let you see me break down is how I feel
I wait and the tears won’t come
You are long gone now.
I saw you drive down the street and turn the corner
You are gone forever
The tears may come now
But they won’t
I cannot cry for the one who left me
I cannot cry for a trust that was broken
I cannot cry for a love that was lost
And I cannot cry for someone that will never be back
It’s been hours now since I saw you leave
Since I waited for the tears to fall
And still nothing.
I still sit on the porch
Where I last felt your arms around me
Where I last felt your lips upon mine
And where my last memory of you lies
