A Single Drop

A single drop of blood
From the thorn
Off the rose
That you gave me.

A single teardrop
Falls onto the lips
Of the face
That you loved.

A single band of white
That encircles around
The left hand finger
That you had adorned.

A single lie
That destroyed the life
That you had pledged
To live with me.
