One Last Tear

When the crying seems done
	and there is nothing left
When the sorrow has won
	and your heart is bereft

When your reasoning fails
	to accept what is true
When the torture prevails
	and there's nothing to do

When there's no yes or no
	as to if you'll survive
When your thoughts overflow
	on just how you'll revive

Any closure forestalls...
	till that one last tear falls
