A tear

The thoughts of a tear.

You see me

Only when someone

Is sad

Or perhaps

Very happy

 

You see me

Perhaps short

Perhaps long

I never linger

On the warmth

Of your face

 

You see me

Even though

You don’t want it

You hate me

Wipe me away

Why?

 

I am

What I am

A tear

Only shed

When wanted

I can barely

See the world

Before

You wipe me away

 

And I

You can say

That I die.

HeartOfStars,

I can barely see the world, before you wipe me away, and I, you can say... I die.

WOW~ The thoughts of a tear? Originality, Originality, Originality... this is your forte', keep it simple yet complex! Cheers to the power of words!

Who would have thought that a tear has feelings, these drip-drops of salty water pouring from our eyes? Only extreme sun, emotion, allergies, or sleepiness forces them out. I am still in awe over the poem and now will look a bit closer at the little things we just take for granted and remember that they have thoughts of their own.

Thank you for sharing such a unique write.

Have a wonderful day and keep writing this way,

Legacy

This would be a fine submission into Enlightenment contest - Poetic Infusion Society is holding.

'Or' in the first stanza is misspelled. Great job, and such a very imaginative piece. This is something I have not seen done before, to write a poem from the perspective of a tear, but it was genius of you to do.

So sad... :( Very well written. Tried to write a story with it and you came up with a wonderful poem! Good job and keep on writing!

So sad and sweet. The very humble mind of a tear.
