Another tear rolled down her cheek
For he feared
That he would be left alone
Alone in her eyes
Where all of his friends had deserted him
And left him behind
He rolled down faster
And tried with all of its might
To reach to the soft fabric that covered her bed
Where he could see
The stain all of his friends had made
Maybe he still had a chance
To meet them all again
But what wasn’t to be, would never be
He was wiped out in a single swipe of her trembling hands

As she tried to calm herself, and leave her sorrow behind
She hadn’t talked to anyone in days
And the one person who cared
Had vanished without a trace
Unable to bear the solitude
She began to cry
She cried about her existence
Cried because no one was there
Cried because she missed his company
She cried out of sheer despair
She kept this on for a while,
Until her eyes had dried
Wiping her eyes, she looked at his picture
And waited for that final swipe

That would wipe her away
And her miserable life
Just like she had ended it for that one lonely tear…
