A Tear
Hidden underneath the skin
For years now long past,
Sliding to the surface now
For it all could not last.

Slipping down the softest skin
And leaving a wetted trail,
This object now slowly showing
Has a tale to tell.

The memories of the past
And of the here and now,
Dropping down from the place
Away from the fevered brow.

The salty ball of sadness
Or of ultimate joy,
You can here my softened sobbing
My emotions, I deploy.

You hold me closer to you now,
My emotions suddenly clear.
Raising a hand for me,
You wipe away this mournful tear.
