The Tear

Darkened, sinking

Sulking, I

Wipe the tear

From my eye

I search for strength

Deep within

It isn’t there

Nor has it been

I look at you

What do I see

Merely that

You’re mocking me

You go away

And leave me here

To wipe away

Another tear

A good person cares when they hurt someone... don't mock or scorn the people you once loved... even if circumstances have come down to the inevitable heartache.  Treat people with respect.  In my life I have both hurt and been hurt... I have been fortunate enough to have good people in my life that treated me with respect even if they did have to hurt me, and in turn I think I have also given people their due respect when the time came.  I think this important; without it there are so many hurt feelings and so much resentment.
