A Solitary Teardrop
She sat huddled up in fleecy blanket
shaking and trembling, mutters to her self
it has not yet sunk in, this painful loss
that sears her breaking heart with terrible grief
A solitary teardrop falling down
She thought of the fun and love they shared
the strolls they had enjoyed in leafy woods
the way he had snuggled up close to her
his warm breath brushing her ear as they slept
A solitary teardrop falling down
Over in the kitchen corner his bowls
along with a comfy bed seldom used
she needed to put them away out of sight
yet devastated she had little strength
A solitary teardrop falling down
She wished the tears would flow healing her
yet though they trembled within her eye lids
she could not seem to release them but they stung
just one escaped and rolled down her face
A solitary teardrop falling down
this was inspired by a poem called Once upon A Teardrop by Steven Davies from Wales
