Teardrop

They escape
One by one
Gathering speed
They begin to run

The last drop falls
No more inside
One silent heave
Until I die

My heart lays broken
My heads a mess
An empty shell
Is all that's left

No more tears
No more fight
No more questions
I say goodnight

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
