A Tear For Love

She looks down from yon window
To the street below as the world passes her by
Trapped in the prison that is her heart
Hoping for the love of another

The people on the street below
Fail to see her pain in the emptiness of her heart
Or the loneliness that is her burden

He passes and she holds her breath hoping
Praying that he will come to her
Taking her away from the pain that is her life

For the day is long and the nights are even longer
For the one love that she waits for in eternal hope
Praying for the love of her hearts desire

The knock at the door and she runs
Hoping and praying that its is he who knocks
But alas it is not and she falls into the loneliness once again
But then a while later there is another knock at the door
It is him, the lover that she dreams of
He say "I'm here to take you
Away from your pain", she says "Take me i'm yours"
Then and only then she sheds a tear, A tear for love
