Dragons have tears

The girl is  waiting for the moment just before midnight
The waiting driving madness further into her core
With every beat of her frail heart
She falls deeper into her self
Silenced only by the louder noise of wings flapping around her
What should she do?
Run?
She sits shocked in awe of such a beautiful creature
Feared by many
The girl knew only too well the ways in which we try so hard to think ourselves superior
And yet we fall when nature takes hold
Manipulating
Killing
Respectfully hiding our faces in the sand
The creature holds her gaze for a meer moment
Connection is made
Can you feel the invisable thread
 can you witness
The tears that flow so freely
Cleansing the pain
Freeing the soul
Can you hear the heartbreak of the Dragon
As it sings the tunes of every heartbreak
Wanting the endings to be simpler
Less painful
Dragons have visions 
The past is gone
And the future is beyond their control
The dragon out side her room
Is still breathing
Just
As a single tear is seen trickling down his face
She holds on tight to the thought
That if a dragon can die of heartbreak
Then what hope is there for a girl as frail
And misunderstood as she
She lies beside him
When dawn breaks she finds herself alone
With a note left
'Gone back to the heart from whence I came'
Look after your heart well
For if the dragon in you finds it needs to be free from you
The pain must have been so strong
But now he has released that which he could no longer hold onto
He can once more be connected
To all that you have become

Oh I just love this! I always feel that dragons are misunderstood, and yes many of us have a dragon's heart. I personally have been on a dragon writing binge these days, yours is more of a look at a dragon in this time while mine lean more to the ancient lore of dragons.

Thank you for the amazing story in the poem. I like the feel of the contact and interaction create a sad and powerful tale. Thank you for the outstanding poem.

I like the story and imagery presented here. I see this is newly posted so I hope you do not mind that I point out perceived errors. The word free has an extra r - here needs to be hear - and your last I is not capitalized. If any of those are purposeful...than never mind. :)

Oh Pebs... xoxoxo this is a beautiful write. The empathy for a creature that is just mythical to most, to be able to see the tear that falls from it's eye...
It still breathes, because you believe... but only just because others need to lend their breath.... I will breathe also for the Dragon... and you ;-)
