Torn
by Anthony Holcomb
Every day I wait and watch,
Hoping for mail from you.
Every day it doesn’t come,
My heart receives another tear…
Every night I dial your number,
Hoping to hear your voice.
Every night you are not there,
My heart receives another tear…
Every week I pace and pace,
Hoping for a visit from you.
Every week you aren’t there,
My heart receives another tear…
As I watch my days,
Turn into weeks,
And my weeks into months,
The tears keep building up…
With each tear my heart is torn,
Just a little more.
Until one day it’s torn apart,
to be together never more…
