Eternal Tear

The tear that falls eternally 
Is vast, collects the salty sea 
Falls fast, as rain from cloud breaks free 
Drips past, drips not as dew to tree 

Races down the sands of time 
Your face as sour as a lime 
A tear that cannot dry itself 
You cannot prize it on your shelf 

It is your sorrow and your hurt 
The tear you cried at birth 
Sigh, you'll never have the chance to see 
When your crystal falls to earth 
It splashes me.
