The Tear

I'd rather shed a single Tear-

Saltier than the Sea...

Than cry an ocean's worth of Pain

Bland as water, for thee.

My heart's now turned into a Stone-

Small...

        And hard...

                   And red.

The ALL of me that loved you so-

Crushed...

            Compact....

                         And dead.

All the force of this cruel World

Squeezes the Stone down deep.

The Death of You...

A diamond-hued

Lone glistening tear,

I weep.
