A Tear

How there was a tear in my eye,

Of happiness or sadness—I never knew.

Never understood if it was all a lie,

Never noticed from whence the storm blew.

All I had collected in my heart

Were separated and thrown apart

Could not decide if it was the end or the start.

Was it a murmur that I heard

Or a roar from an angry sea?

I could not remember, I could not see

All I knew is that there was a tear

And I didn’t even realize

That it wasn’t in my Eye.
