AN OCEAN AND A DROP

After your departure,

I was floating in the ocean of tears,

Carrying you carefully in my heart,

Nurturing the memory of our rapport.

Suddenly I heard a sound of sob from inside me,

A drop of tear fall from your eye,

Perhaps you were crying out of some irritation,

Or maybe by witnessing my miserable condition.

For me, your drop was heavier than my ocean,

As I had promised not to let you cry in any situation,

I failed miserably to bear that burden,

Drowned in the bottomless depth of depression.
