She could not prevent
The single tear that fell
Emotion trapped
Within its shell
Solitary
In its fall
From eye to cheek
A lonely call.
It left behind
Its salted home
In dampened eye
An unwritten note
That pleaded not
Unhidden pain
Clinging to cheek
No care or shame.
Its journey short
Etched in time
A single motion
A broken crime
It leaves a trail
Upon the skin
Then is gone
A simple thing.
