Questions of a Teardrop


It streams down my cheek
Slowly yet surely
It is calming and relaxing
Yet stressing and hurtful

It creeps its way along a hardened path
Alone, single, no more, no less

I feel its pain
As it leaves its trail
The mistakes the questions I never asked

I live with the burden
Fear has taken grasp
No questions asked to answers given

It clings to my cheek
Not wanting to leave me
As I do to you holding you near me

As it releases and dives to the ground below
So do I, fallen victim to the fear of rejection...

No questions asked, no answers given
