A tiny tear drop escaped slowly,
the last of those dried up eyes…
Within it…was immense sadness,
and its weight...one could not bear.
In slow motion...it dragged on,
as if imprisoned within a bubble…
Slowly disseminating emotions,
those...so long being held back.
Down its path...it evaporated,
diffusing the once inflicted pain…
Soaked up it was...on its way,
lessening the imposed burden.
A sigh of relief in those tired eyes,
eyes that once held such a tear…
A tear that kept still…the burdens,
sadness that it once shielded.
