Outline of a Tear Drop
Dripping
Who left the faucet running?
My mistake
It's me
a pool collecting at my feet
as I write questions
with no answers
To why it's over
what I did wrong
or could have done differently
The words blur
merging into a mass of ink
the paper spattered
with drops of water
tears
Drying up quickly, blurring the lines
An outline
of the result of what happened
slowly getting over
but never forgetting.
