A Tear
A girl in the distance
Her eyes glistening like a diamond in the light
Her cheeks pink as roses
Lips as red as the blood flowing through her body.
As I look upon her I see a tear form
It slowly makes its way down her cheek
She wipes it away
She is crying
I don’t know her and yet I have this odd yearning to help her
I reach forward to comfort her
I start moving my legs
But nothing happens
I keep trying
But fail
I am so frustrated
I want to help the silent girl
I scream
She turns only her head to look at me
I then look to see what she was gazing at before
Nothing?
A white empty room surrounds us
No one else
Only then do I take in my surroundings
The tears just started flowing
To my surprise they were my own tears
As I cried I noticed the girl’s crying had intensified
She knew I couldn’t help her
Because I had not known
I then realize
But how
This girl
This girl before me cannot see
I had not known
I had not known this girl
Was blind
