Last Night
by CMGrimm
Last night
I watched a teardrop
slowly trace its way
across your lovely
cheek.
It hovered a moment
at the tip of your nose
as if to tease me
and make me feel ashamed
for hurting you so badly.
Finally it broke itself free
and came to a rest
on your soft pillow
to join countless others
of its kind that I
never knew existed.

I see a lot of comments about how readers have felt like the crier, which I think most people assume to be a woman. However, as a married woman (waiting at mindnight for her husband to come home from work on the dinner serving shift), I appreciate "his" acknowlegement of how she must feel. And, has felt many times before.
