A tear runs
Slowly down my cheek
I can see it out of the corner of my eye
A big fat drop
Well drawn
I see it clearly
Like a water balloon ready to burst
Hanging from the faucet
As if it was the last drop to fill the glass
It holds steady
Unwilling to drop into the abyss
I see it there
Undulating
Like watching a movie and thinking,
When is something interesting going to happen?
In an instant
It drops
But I was distracted
I can’t believe it
I was too busy trying to see it finally drop that I even forgot why
It formed in the first place
It can’t be
I wanted to see it
Splatter the floor
I can only imagine it now
That big fat drop exploding on the ground
and leaving it’s mark as it disintegrates
Nothing is the same
Many more tears will drop
but not one ever the same
Every second in your life is different
And it won’t repeat.
