I've cried enough tears to fill an ocean,
over the loss, of all I hold dear.
But now, the tears have subsided, all
except one tiny tear.

Each time, I hear your name,
everytime time you cross my mind.
A tear will appear, as if on cue,
to remind me, of a bygone time.

So many thoughts, and feelings,
flows along with that tear.
All of my love, anguish and pain,
my wishes, dreams and my fears.

The warm salty taste on my lips,
reminds me, once more of your touch.
You gave me your love, then denied me,
and now I miss you so much.

Somethings, are never forgotten,
and I believe, that they shouldn't be.
For as long, as that tiny tear can fall,
you'll forever, still be with me.

We all have our friends, our loves, and such,
and hold on, to the things that are dear.
But you are my everything, rolled into one,
and that is in, my tiny tear.

I know the feeling well, Kitty-some people will always stay with you, no matter what...You wrote it well. Good job!

Well, Ms. Kitty, you certainly can express yourself with poetry. This is sad, hits home, and is a keeper! Lovely.

Thank you all for your comments..
Sometimes it helps to *pour* out the saddness
so your heart has room for happiness.
I'm slowly making more room in my heart! ;-)

Well done. I've been feeling the same lately, but I could have never said it as beautifully as you have. I loved it.

gee - I wonder how many tiny tears I live in? I know ol' Toerag has some for the way I outshine him. I know Balladeer has some for the way I allow Toerag to get the best of him. I know suthern has some for the way Toerag can never be as sweet as me. I know Rainbow Girl has some for the way I turned my rowboat around mid-Atlantic and headed for the Mississippi. But other than that, I wonder.....
