A tear drop on the fire fell
A hissing sound - the tear was gone
Yet the cheek never dried

A sigh, the candle light flickered
The fire danced - the merit hers alone
Yet the heart never smiled

A heart beat disturbed the silence of the night
Another one followed - and another
Yet the soul asked "why bother?"

A blood pool spread over the water
A bubble arose - one of many
Yet it was the last

A forlorn soul hovered over the land
A call was heard - for the spirit above
Yet it never came back
