A Drop of Despair

A Drop of Despair Spawned by a cruel turn of fate Born of misfortune and despair A symbol of heartache and pain Of hopes dashed beyond repair It journeys on a downward path There will follow more of it’s kind There is nothing which it craves And nothing is all that it will find Like the first snowflake of winter Cold times ahead it does foretell The teardrop explodes on a letter Which tells of her lover’s farewell
