A Silent Tear
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
She sits alone,
In an endless cycle
Of pain and misery
From her deepening depression.
Crimson carves a trail
Over tender skin
And drips to the ground.
Winter's bitter cold
Nips at her rosy cheeks
But no one notices
Her empty shadow.
Pain, she believes,
Makes her feel.
Anything to distract
Her from her own thoughts.
She sits alone
With only the uncaring wind
As she shivers
And releases a silent tear.
She leans against a tree,
And peers through the leaves
To watch them dance
And see the clouds roll by.
