Melancholy tears release
locked up sadness and despair
in a little girl's active imagination
that runs solely on happy fairy tales
and falls abruptly the very day
when actuality abstains her from dreaming
sunshine hidden away in gloomy clouds.
No longer will tears of misery escape
but hope filled droplets of a new beginning
for crying results in purging one's soul
washing away any dangerous sorrows
into unused murky waters underground
see the flickering light ahead in her eyes
all she needed was a chance to breathe again.
