Last Tear
Black eyes shallow breath
Pasty skin inviting death
Laughter ceased sun went down
The moon moving in shadows roving around
Wheelchair bound prayers’ are said
Struggle one legged into a lonely bed
Dogs climb up settle down
Deaf and old don’t hear a sound
Angel of Death is on the prowl
Seeking a soul the dogs’ do growl
Lifeless form within the bed
Last Tear rolls no life she’s dead
Sun rises mom comes around
Dogs go out she makes no sound
Hours later still the same
911 this is no game
Mom feels bad and takes the blame
Angel of Death up to his same old game
Last Tear rolls no life she’s dead
Lifeless form within the bed.
