The Lonely Tear

• Artist: Ryan Russell
• Description: This is a poem I wrote in November, and I loved the way it played out. I have an older poem, Tombstone, which is scheduled to be published in Immortal Verses sometime in January. Check out my poetry website at: www.phantomseeker.webs.com ^_^

A tear falls gently to the ground
Though quiet, it is the only sound
The world around me bleak and grey
Has neither shade nor light of day
The earth beneath my feet is naught
But what my horrid mind has wrought
And rot it does, but leaves no warmth
Painful nothing it brings forth
I stare at nothing, and nothing calls
Nothing hears, and nothing stalls
Within these walls of my own prison
The only thing I want to do is listen
While I may listen, I cannot hear
Except for the loneliness of that one tear

You have made me happy today. Every other piece I've read has had lovely words, but no structure or rhythm. I compliment you on your excellent use of wording to create a solid and constant flow and on the definite tone you set from the first line to the last. Excellently done.

Nah. lol. Its more of a spiritual and social isolation that I've experienced before...Even prisons tend to have alot of luxuries nowdays!
