When the Heart Weeps

When the heart weeps
The whole body goes to sleep
Even the bright stars
Though very away, far

Turns of its light
And its the heart's night

When the heart weeps
The cut is deep
Like that of a ruthless butcher
Or a determined puncher

Sometimes we are too selfish
That makes us devilish
l° will just try
Not to ever again cry
l° must keep my eyes dry
