A Tear Drop

.                                                              

                                                                 A
                                                               prism
                                                            of sadness
                                                         a  piece of soul
                                                     falls from the windows
                                                 of the house where you live
                                                 trickling droplets of  emotion
                                                to hard to handle finally let go
                                               relieving the strain of your pain
                                              they fall from your eyes like rain
                                                 until you are  totally drained
                                                   so you can rise up again 
                                                       to play the game
