Tear

Misery. Anguish. Astonishment. Fear.
The culprits behind the release of 'The Tear'.

My body, it plunges into a lonely, hollow well; as the isolation drains me, it feels like a cell.

After all that I plea; with one blink of an eye, he (and yes, I shall name him a he) was finally free.

He carasses my face like a clear, tranquil stream. Then all of a sudden
he plunges and drops; with a gleam.

A sound, beneath me entered my thoughts, I looked down, curious and saw three minature drops.
