A single tear falls,
and disappears into the abyss
quickly replaced by another
that single tear won't be missed.
The dark room of lonliness
grows ever darker still.
Pain devours all from the inside
killing the spirit that drives the will.
Love is so strongly desired,
needed, but at what cost?
The cost of the single tear
followed by others, forever lost.
