A snapshot

I chanced upon a pinhole,
Piercing through the dark,
Sleepless and searching,
At the middle of the night.
So I veiled myself,
With the heavy black sky,
And took a snapsot.
There was you,
There was light,
There was love,
There was joy,
And,
A silver teardrop.

A need to touch it,
To dip my fingers,
To feel the pain,
Deep down there,
But alas,
I realized soon,
It's frozen in time,
Lifeless
And distant,
In a way
Just like you.
