Unnamed Poem by Anonymous

A tear. It all starts with a tear.
A long ago fear. Was she worthy?
Years of seeking that which seemed unattainable.
He came from nowhere. A thief in the night.
She was snared. He taught her to put away her fear.
That she could let go and not be like those who had betrayed her.
Pain. He welcomed it. Loved it. Lived and breathed for it.
More pain. Drained away the fear.
Lit up the shadows until they ceased to exist.
Together they became one. Two hearts, one soul.
Years go by. Lives change. Times change.
Slipping away. Is it broken? Can a bond that strong be broken?
A bond built of love. It stands strong. Brief whispers in the night.
They will be there. They will be together.
Tears. Many shared. It all starts with a tear.
It will only end with a tear.
