I shed a solitary
tear,
A teardrop from the
corner
Of my constricted
eyes,
In remembrance of a
dream,
The teardrop rolls
down
Rolls down my cheek
and years
Till there are no
memories
Of what was once
Several certainties
Waiting for us
To live them out.
Memories of that
dream, I remember
And shed a solitary
tear
A teardrop dense,
despaired
From the depth of my
eyes
Drowning in the
darkness
The teardrop rolls
down
Rolls down my cheek
and years
Till there is a
light
That proves my pride
Hid little of worth
Then I will blame
Myself with shame.
But the light won't
shine, I foresee
And shed a solitary
tear
A teardrop coarse,
crisp
From the core of my
eyes
Cutting through the
rain
The teardrop rolls
down
Rolls down my cheek
and years
Till there are no
clouds
Leaving a void
With which to blend
Like petals fallen
Never to be back
again,
Colours of that
flower, I dream
And shed a solitary
tear.
