Tear

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
