One Tear Short

One Tear Short

The midnight moon is calling to me as it does every night.
It consoles the heartache in me, before saying its farewell.
Hoping I will make it through and not give up the fight
But, now I'm one tear short of your wishing well.

Many other ladies have preyed upon your truest heart,
Entranced by everything you are, as if under a spell.
They've only played a fool and it seems I fit that part
Because now I'm one tear short of your wishing well.

Little secrets whispered to you what I wanted to say,
All the dreams and hopes I was too afraid to tell.
As soon as they were said, you blew them all away.
Now I'm one tear short of your wishing well.

Inviting others in to feel the pain I'm going through
I linger in the darkness. Misery is where I dwell.
I've found life to be dull, meaningless, and blue
When now I am one tear short of your wishing well.

So throw a penny in. But I doubt any wishes will come true.
Instead it's filled with ladies wishes that shattered and fell.
Every young heart broken lies here hoping for you.
Now I'm one tear short of your wishing well.
