Slowly
Slowly
The tear slides down her face
It leaves a trail of regret
Sorrow and sadness compressed into one
It arches across the smooth contours of her face
It was so sudden
So soon
Down
Down
The tear glides ever down
It reaches the edge of her face
Falling
Falling
Oh we are falling it cries
Desperate for life
It hungers for her sorrow
Softly quietly it falls from her face
It creates a pool on the table
Softly
Softly
So softly a hand reaches out
and wipes the tear away
gone
gone
we are gone the tear cries
alone
alone
we cry alone
the single tear
Slowly
Slowly
