A Last Tear
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.

Aww… sad.. but lovely..
Sometimes, it just happens, and you end up standing in the middle of nowhere, knowing not how, when and why…
Very well expressed in this poem…

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
