A

Single

tear I cry

for thee – just

one silver drop from

my heart.  What was once

a great and shining empire, now

lies as a dark and decaying mass of

ruins.  A dreadful, dismal storm thundered

across what we once had.  That glowing promise

crumbled when the tempest roared: crashed deviously

through the hopes, the dreams, the peace.  Your wicked lies

embed themselves in my quiet, gentle mind.  The rotting stench

of your putrid breath reflects your foul, fetid words.  Digging, delving,

defiling my mind.  Your charred and blackened soul withers as more

tears slide by unnoticed by you and your shriveled heart.  Fiery, flaming,

furious eyes burn into my watery ones.  You radiate noxious fumes that

corrode the fair thoughts I had for you.  Your presence pollutes my

world; your very existence erodes away my humanity.  You drive guilt

into the very depths of my soul.  All the bright hopes I had for the

future dwindle.  What was meant to be just one tear,

just one tear to embody all that anguish you

caused, that one tear turned into

a myriad.  My tears are all

that’s shining now.
