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.
