As I cry,
You should care why,
Instead-
I’ve lost you on my trail of tears.

I’ve been there for you,
Always cared for you,
But Now-
I’ve lost you on my trail of tears.

As I travel along this path of pain,
You act as if it’s all the same,
And So-
I’ve lost you on my trail of tears

As you left,
You left behind,
A frightfully exciting new path all mine-
Freedom!
The knowledge helps to fuel me on my way,
Away from the curse of a trail of tears.

And I know that someday-
Not to soon-
But not far away
I’ll think of you,
In a different, calmer and brighter way.

&quot;You know you&rsquo;re a writer if your friend tells you a heartbreaking story and your first reaction is &ndash; wow, that would make an incredible plot for a novel. You know you&rsquo;re a smart writer if you manage to keep that reaction to yourself.&quot;
