A Single Tear

A Single Tear Trying to hold it back It is too hard especially with a broken heart A single tear flows down my cheek Telling the world of my sadness What mistakes I made Ones that I cannot change Words I said Others I should have said Yet others I could have said but didn’t Raging in my memory They tear at my soul Trying to escape to release the pain Years, decades they try while they rip me apart Finally every words is released Not in a flood Not in a torrent But in a single tear flowing down my cheek.

Oh Poet Of Poets may I not shed that single tear, may not the broken heart be there but instead the keys to Paradise. Love Lizzie
