Over and over again, <br />I play it in my head. <br />For no one can hear me, <br />Under the covers in bed. <br /> <br />I can hear their footsteps. <br />Walking near our door. <br />For they do not ponder, <br />What I know. <br /> <br />No one Speaks of it. <br />But all fear. <br />What lies beneath, <br />A single tear. <br /> <br />I dream of it knowingly, <br />In search of something valuable. <br />For it is not jewels I search for. <br />It is something that lies beneath, <br />A single tear.<br /><br />Raechel Teitelbaum<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-single-tear-8/
