The Last Drop of Tear

Cloud of despair rose from the seamless sea of sorrow, storm surged from the dismal horizon of mind’s visage, melted in many streamlets of tear to torrentially flow, like the rolling rills of rain drops on the face of foliage. All the dark clouds didn’t dissolve in the deluge of grief, in a lone clump froze splinter of memory in emotion deep, like the rain drop lying concealed in the fold of sodden leaf, waited in me to wail for the promises I could never keep. Before the ending of our pledged journey you had gone, left forlorn, I crumbled within the debris of the fallen sky. Hidden cloud clump melted in remorse, remotely known, as it upwelled within me all the restraints I felt it did defy. The spent sun set on strewn spoils of my shattered heart, from dust of despair shards of my life couldn’t rise anew. As the destined time came for me with the call to depart, the cloud of memory shed the last drop of tear for you. September 1, 2020 Contest : The Last 1 Sponsor : Anthony Biaanco
