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

Change sleep to slept and this will be perfection. It was a cool twist when I realized it was a dog you were writing about. I just love it Shadow.

Shadow, I can relate to the solitary confinement. At times, I feel as if nothing heals the broken heart. I know I'm not alone, however at times I feel the need to escape. Skat

Excellence is your trade mark Shadow. The emphasis achieved by the repetition of '' A solitary teardrop falling down '' is super. You have done it again. Kayod5
