...drip...drop...
by foreverflame

There along the open page
are written words in simple phrase,
but then the written words, they stop
and there, a teardrop is displayed.

Draped across the tables glass
are found some remnants of the past
that show a potent view of sadness
through a multitude of splashes.

There upon the lukewarm chair
a hint of sadness fills the air
when closer sight leads one to find
a single tear from crying eyes.

A dampened spot upon the floor
shows spiritual pain in physical form.
Still yet it glistens, refusing to fade.
Declining its role to absorb away.

Upon the door, a handle sits
with coldness drenched upon its grip.
Light reflects it, makes it shine.
Its surface covered from someone’s cry.

Within the room, the lights are dark.
A chilling feel entwines the heart.
The bed is felt to a surprise,
for it remains dry?

but…

On the floor, a person lays
within a sleep too deep to wake.
And on his face, tears hug him close.
Remaining the things
that loved him most.

these crooked ways.
I never even asked to come,
so now I'm living in the days.
I struggle and fight
to stay alive,
hoping that one day
I earn my chance to die..."

Absolutely fantabulous! When a poem holds me into it as this did, all I can say is "Wow!"
