Creek of Tears

It was harder than I thought Getting across this Creek of Tears I tried to swim across, but The current spit me out I tried to float across, but Was met with a face full of water I tried to jump across, but Came up short and plunged in Only to be washed up on the wrong shore As I failed again, and again, The loneliness struck me hard Tears welled in my eyes And I fed the Creek of Tears Once back out on the wrong shore I collapsed and cried some more I felt lonely and afriad, Lost and yearning, Scared and so uncertain, Everyone had left, moved on Why couldn't I find the way? Then I began to notice, The memory of you, was Slipping through my fingers I didn't ache for you as often I didn't scream for you at night So I sat up to think what this meant And noticed the Creek of Tears Had turned to a gently stream Shallow enough for me to walk across So I walked across the Creek of Tears To meet the others on the far side Looking back sometimes To wish you were still by my side
