Raechel Teitelbaum - A Single Tear

Over and over again,
I play it in my head.
For no one can hear me,
Under the covers in bed.

I can hear their footsteps.
Walking near our door.
For they do not ponder,
What I know.

No one Speaks of it.
But all fear.
What lies beneath,
A single tear.

I dream of it knowingly,
In search of something valuable.
For it is not jewels I search for.
It is something that lies beneath,
A single tear.
