A Last Tear

July 26, 2010 by moondustwriter

Looking up

with tear filled eyes

at someone who

once meant the world

***

empty shallow shell

encasing the place

where a heart once lived

and love poured forth

drip


when did the sun

stop rising on our love?

drop

when did the words “I love you”

become too difficult to say

plop

What did I say “yes” to

so many moons ago

Sadly


there’s nothing left

to shed a tear over

    Tears water the soils of growth.

    Tears come easily in a situation such as this. I have seen it others. I have felt it in myself. Truthfully written, Moon, which is why I like this.

    no, it can’t be!
    somewhere there must be hope.
    or is that just me
    so i can hang on to tears
    where you do let them go.
    I admire your strenght in this sadness
