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.
