I rest in your eyes lonely
I rest on your lips unspoken
Unkissed like a puppy
Licks your face good morning
With no reply!

I rest in your eyes wanting
I rest on your palm tired
Of centuries traveling in search of
You, all on my own I return
With nothing to say.

I rest in your eyes hoping
I am still in your heart
The puppy is old now and
Tired of running through the fields
With no return.

I return
To rest
In your eyes
I am
A lonely tear
Don’t
Drop me
Close your eyelids
Protect me
In a dream
I remain
Yours.
