A crystalline tear containing the essence of her days
splatters
it shatters upon the pallor
of her lover's face.

Holding her breathe
she stops to dream
oh maybe,
with my tear upon his cheek
just maybe he'll begin to see.

May the caring begin
and this searing pain end

with my tear upon his cheek
may he hear all that I cannot voice
may he understand all that I haven't said
with my tear upon his cheek.

Yet her dreams go undreamt
silently she sinks in lament

For her pain he cannot see
even with her tear upon his cheek.
