TracksofmyTears

I'm staring at the clock; the time is finally near.

The ticking and the tocking—it confirms my fear.

I can't describe this feeling when I feel you coming near,

I'm turning numb inside, and you move your presence here.

I squeeze my eyes shut; I'm losing this final race.

You think I'm really smiling, but take a good look at my face.

Why do you always stare? I'm just a simple girl.

I'm a rock among gems; not your shiny pearl.

So what are you to do when you see me down the hall?

You'd smile and wave at me; you'd even catch me when I fall.

When I see you coming, I quicken up my pace.

You give a frown because you see me smile looks out of place.

Hopefully you'll find out that those smiles were never real.

Then you'll realize and know exactly how I feel.

But if you soon decide that you will never look my way,

Truth be told I'll miss you—you brighten up my day.

My tears are falling faster now—I need your loving grace.

But if you look closer now they're easy to trace.

I'm insecure and scared of what the outcome of this will be.

I'm pretending to be someone else instead of being me.

Will I ever accept you? I truly do not know—

Your dry cheeks and your smiles are the reason I love you so.

It's time to stop running away—to face my biggest fears.

And in time it will erase the tracks of my tears.
