A Tear For You

This tear here...
It is for you.

Whoever you are,
Wherever you've been;
These tears I cry, are for you to keep.

The pain you feel,
At this moment I feel it too.

Though we have never met
I'm here praying for you.

Though we have never talked
I want to give you comfort through the pain.

As I sit here,
Pencil in hand,
I wonder what you might be like.

As I look at the piece of paper
With tears in my eyes,
I somehow feel helpless inside.

So this all that I can say...

At this moment,
Though you may feel lost and alone.

And you feel like no one cares,
Just remember...

I do,
And that is why I cry for you.

A Single Tear (Part 1)

In a dark forest gloom, a silent soul crouches in the shadows completely still. The soul can feel the darkness calling for her; yes the soul is a girl. She barely lets out a breath of air; she listens to the sounds of the forest. It’s out there somewhere, watching, waiting for her to make the move. The predator of the forest it is, and she is to be the prey.

Calming her throbbing heart beat she brings herself closer to the ground and listens. Boom… boom… boom… boom.  At first nothing, then the slightest drum sound signifying that it was on the move. With the sound comes fear, with fear comes anger and with anger comes Darkness.

Slowly she lifts her head and looks around. She hopes to see him come before he’s here, but how can you see a shadow when you are surrounded by them.

Lifting her face to the sky, she prays for light. She prays for strength.  But to who will answer; the one she abandoned? No she knew she was on her own. She was the one that left him not the other way around. She had wanted to be free, and so she was, to die.

A single tear falls down her cheek, to the end of her chin and to the ground. There it calls to him, wails for him to forgive her. That single tear waits for the one that will save.
