Puddle

Tear drops fall onto the surface

Cause a ripple effect that’s endless

Reflection sets the scene

Unraveling itself like a machine

The background is faded

How it got there is complicated

Defeat surrounds the puddle

Leftover efforts no longer able

To compete, be recognized

Shooed away like fireflies

The light has been dimmed

On the heart now trimmed

Crying a message with no connection

Aimlessly flow in any direction

Hollow space completely filled

Of a vision unable to rebuild
