I see a droplet descend
Out the corner of her eye
From the corner of mine
Leaving a trail
That catches the screen light

Not to be noticed
I watch the scene
A snuffle sounds
It's not the surround
I sneak a peek of her expression

The film is dramatic
Thou not emotional
I catch a smile
Reaching out
I caress to comfort

Meandering home
Over footfalless cobbles
We step in time
A short laugh is uttered
Yet the tear still travels

She cannot explain
Her apparent self
Nor do I know what
Her inner demons are saying
Or why they torment today

My soul knows
Her soul is sad
I can only try
To lift her spirit a little
By being her friend
