Her eyes swelled and a shimmering pearl slid down her sculptured face-
Leaving a path of salty-sorrow and despair across her devastated portrait.
Slowly it swung along the curve of her chin,
Then suddenly, like the last Autumn leaf - clutching for dear life it fell;
Gracefully to its doom.
During its decent into the abyss, eternity seem to pass by in the flash of a silvery-clear bullet.
Abandonment and Grief was all but reflected in the mirror of her past.
Each second, each revolution describing the calamities of her life, burdoned and bound to her soul.
She had lost everything - but still had one last thing to give;
A humble tear.
As it hit the ground an inaudible shatter echoed throughout her being.
For as the diamond pearl broke, so did her heart.

Her eyes swelled and a shimmering pearl slid down her sculptured face-
Leaving a path of salty-sorrow and despair across her devastated portrait.
Slowly it swung along the curve of her chin,
Then suddenly, like the last Autumn leaf - clutching for dear life it fell;
Gracefully to its doom.
During its decent into the abyss, eternity seem to pass by in the flash of a silvery-clear bullet.
Abandonment and Grief was all but reflected in the mirror of her past.
Each second, each revolution describing the calamities of her life, burdoned and bound to her soul.
She had lost everything - but still had one last thing to give;
A humble tear.
As it hit the ground an inaudible shatter echoed throughout her being.
For as the diamond pearl broke, so did her heart.
