Tear Drop

                       I
                   listened to
               your beautiful voice 
             on the phone and that was 
           all I was able to do...drip drip

                       I
                   laid with
               you in your bed
              as you comforted me
       without you ever realizing I was there... drip drip

                       
                       I
                  recited your
              old poetry to you hoping
           in it you would hear the poetry  
          that I have inside of me.... drip drip


                      But
                  somehow the
              the only thing I have
            ever been able to show you
           are my tears. but not this time..... drip drip

                      DAMN !
