A Tear Falls Empty Poem by Emily Swinney

Watch as this tear falls into empty space

See it fall into life's nameless place

Can you see the sparkle as it catches the light?

That sparkle once was happiness that is no longer in sight

As it falls watch it, its color has changed

From blue to bright red, it has a wide range

There it goes all alone it continues to fall

With it, it takes the emotion, the emotion of all

Wait can you hear it? A sob has broke free

Has shook the lungs cold, but yet it continues to be

Here it comes; a force has been built between the eyes

A wall of shearwater, it's now time to cry

A shudder, a scream, darkness envelops your soul

The darkness of the night has taken its toll
