Little tear

That trail you left little tear.
That thin line that you cut across my face.
The one that made me look up.
The one that changed my breath from slow and heavy to a gasp.

Thank you.
That line was for a new beginning.
That trail was for a new direction.

You wet my face but fueled my heart.
A little warrior waking me up.

That little sparkle I saw wasn't you catching the light, it was you sharing it.

When you fell to the floor you weren't lost.
It was your plan.
You were off to help me grow.

Thanks little tear.
Now I stand tall, now I can see
Now I can see, I realise.

You showed me.
Even when I fought to hold you back you found a way.
You didn't give up, but you were never against me.

Thank you little tear.
I see your sparkle where I thought it was lost.
I see your fight in me now.

You broke the gates that day but they were the ones holding me back.

Thank you little tear.
Your back with me now.
