The Journey of a Tear

What is the journey of a tear
Where does it begin
The thought that I may lose you
That you could leave

I feel these pools of sadness swell
As sorrow glistens
My eyes about to overflow
To not forestall

A single droplet breaks away
To realize its due
As heartache overtakes my soul
Torment rushes fear

No more to hold, my anguish flows
I still think of you
To sob away and feel my tears
Fulfill their destiny

A well written depiction of melancholy feelings, Mike. The journey felt sad but true to the words you write: A single droplet breaks away To realize its’ due As heartache overtakes my soul Torment rushes fear.
