Falling Tears



_Wipe those falling tears ,
Tears of sadness invade your pretty eyes
"We'll be alright", she said to my shutting eyes,
You can rest now she talked, tears filled my eyes as her tears were falling
How do I rest leaving such sadness,
I never made her cry but her look, she's shredded
My precious, "I loved you" I promise.
My tears crumble as I foreseen this, the weight on my shoulder was wearing me
Death was creeping, now death  crippled my clan
Wipe your falling tears and rejoice, not to my decaying corpse but
Rejoice and commemorate me,
Maybe I'm forgiven, no longer a slave to my  sins
My tears fall, I'm frightened by death and the devil's den
That last breath I think of it,
I smile with falling tears, not to the taste of death but
To the life you gave me, Wipe those falling tears and
Let me rest....
