One Last Tear

It looks like a tidal wave if looked under a microscope

Its valid only for the user the manual says

Salt is the antiseptic that prevents infections

It didn't prevent you

You my last tear and the salt

Did the wife of Lot feel her last tear

When I sleep the tears are still made

Washing and lubricating my eyes

Our love should have been washed

The words twirled and cleaned and rinsed

They would come out fresh and the kindness

Instead the last tear waits silently

It won't be recycled

One last tear waits with hope in the hamper
