The One Last Tear

This is the one last tear I’ve shed. We’ve been together all these years, yet seeing where the years have led, I tell you now, I’m out of tears! Sorry again? We go nowhere! This is the one last tear I’ve shed. Goodbye, deceit! Farewell, despair! I’m done with dangling on your thread. You can’t revive what you’ve made dead. I’m through with crying all for you. This is the one last tear I’ve shed. No, I WON’T hear your point of view. I see through you; I see your lies. So hear my last words being said, for many tears have cleared my eyes; this is the one last tear I’ve shed! Feb. 4, 2019 for Silent One's One Last Tear Poetry Contest

Sometimes it is worth listening to the other point of view, but at other times we know it's useless. Congratulations on your win with this fine poem, Andrea! Hugs, carolyn

Ah, the perfect line for a person who has been put down, and stomped on to say to the person who tries to make them think it is their fault: "No, I WON’T hear your point of view." Perfect!

One last tear, such as the one you describe, sheds often..which makes your theme many can relate to. You do so well in this form, Andrea..I like the flow and the way it sounds.

nicely done Andrea, the repetition of the Quatern, as Paul said, is very impactful.

An excellent take on this contest theme, Andrea. The repeated line of this Quatern is impactful, and the content itself is one to which will many will relate. Regards // paul

Use of the Quatern form allows your message to be very clear, Andrea. And you certainly capture the emotion of a final breakup. Well done, my friend! Best wishes in the contest. I just posted my entry too. Still struggling to rank the contest entries, but it finally closed last night. Hugs, Carolyn
