Secret Escape

A tear escapes
Slides down my cheek
I taste it's salt
Trapped between my lips

So very quietly
Was it's journey
Leaving a trail
For other escapees

Just one tear drop
Ventured out alone
Unable to stop
It's journey to death

Tomorrows teardrop
Now takes it's place
Next to take the leap
With only God as witness
