A Teardrop

a   
                                                               prism  
                                                            of sadness                   
                                                        a piece of soul
                                                   falls from the windows
                                               of the house where you live
                                              trickling  droplets  of emotion
                                             too 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

                                                                 `````
