A Solitary Tear

He gazed upon me lovingly Asked if I would stay near Said i was all he wanted And a yes he needed to hear Thinking him not serious I laughed, told him to stop Then when he did not reply How then my heart did drop Looking deep into his eyes They spoke telling me it's true Turned his head to disguise A pain he thought he'd rue Head bent gazing at a rose Silent now he did appear A moment in time was froze Except a single solitary tear Contest:Strand special 12 Sponsor :Brian Strand
