The Tear (poem)

Another tear sent softly through the night

To wander through their dreams while they’re apart

And listens to the sorrows of a heart

Which yearns to hear a voice say it’s alright

-

He learns a brand new meaning of alone

As voices from the shadows become clear

They talk of doubt he doesn’t need to hear

His mind resigned to marvels of its own

-

And time was never meant to move so slow

Each ticking taps into a tortured soul

Eternity of seconds take their toll

Where was the sleep that he had come to know

-

Then on the phone which called from far away

A tearful voice said Hi are you okay
