TEARS

A teardrop I catch on the end of a wish
Gaze at a world that turns within
 Light breaking through this crystal prism
Birthing atonement for simple sin

A memory dances with a distant shadow
That carried me through a different time
A smile so fetching in a fleeting romance
Life once held so close to mine

Beauty I capture in a celluloid frame
A look of seduction given only to me
 Produced on a paper and kept in a book
I open years later and now I can see

The meaning behind the love of a promise
Lips that I kissed time after time
Never believed in the truth of the moment
Yet learnt the meaning behind the rhyme
