Tears

Sitting on their bed

Minding their business

Reading a book

Thinking, just thinking

How could this have happened to me?

They hear the school bus pass

They get up to see if they are back, really

Or are they just dreaming

They close their eyes

And sit on the floor and cry

Just cry

And no one is there to say it will be okay

Because it won't

It never will

They lost their pride and joy

They lost what makes them smile when they are sad

And they can never have it back
