Life and death,
Black and white,
Won't give up,
Not without a fight

They're gone,
Not there,
Not coming back,
My life is bare

All alone,
Left behind,
Trails of tears,
Can't be life's design

Can I survive?
Will they come back?
But they won't,
I hear a crack

One drop,
As I stare in wonder,
From my cheek,
A restless thunder

An anxious tide,
A towering wave,
I'm crying,
I'm these tears slaves

I've always thought that teardrops were magical, and they have inspired me to write many pieces of poetry, some just describing their beauty.
