A Tear
I stand here watching you die in peace.
In the arms of your lover your life shall cease.
You don't struggle at all as you sing loud and clear
you haven't even shed
yet a single pains tear.
I haven't a clue what to do or say
as I watch my big sisters' life slip away.
Standing here watching you hurts me like hell
and before I can help it
in my eyes fresh tears swell.
I let out a whimper, not hardly a cry
as the tears keep on coming I can't explain why.
It hurts me so much to see you in pain
but you say it doesn't hurt just a little fall of rain.
You say you'll be at rest when the sky begins to clear
and in your last breath
you shed your first tear.
