Just a tear
Really no big deal
Just a tear
Something I don’t feel
Just a tear
One nobody sees
Just a tear
Wiped away with ease
Just a tear
Really nothing at all
Just one tear
As the final curtain falls

The winds of discord are warm, arid, and empty;
Like the vacancy of places long since abandoned where the only thing louder than the silence is the eerie rustling of things left unsettled…
Unlike the fresh cool breezes of spring or the invigorating first flurries of winter these tepid dusty winds offer no comfort as they fail to lift and carry away the heaviness on my heart.

In a long forgotten corner
through dark recesses
under cobweb cover
There beats a once cherished heart
Frayed at the edges
time ravaged and torn,
still it pulsates with love’s rhythm
and hope…
Abandoned by youth,
and cast out for pastures greener
with emotions heavy
It waits…
Cleaving to walls that offer no comfort,
in realization of rank relegation
It cries out…
Alone in the blackness,
will crushed by truths blow
It succumbs…
And in this long forgotten corner,
laying bloody, broken and defeated
a heart once cherished
beats no more…
