Dead Man Crying

Dead Man Crying



I saw a dead man crying

both his hands upon his face.

No life remained without her love

no love without her embrace.

 

I saw that dead man crying.

His tears fell like gravel stones.

Nothing remained worth living

as he grieved upon her bones.

 

I touched that dead man crying.

His emptiness froze my hand.

The only life he knew was gone.

He was bound for no-man’s land.

 

I heard the dead man crying. 

I swear he said \"I’m sorry.\"

Without life in his body

his sounds were horrifying.

 

I saw that dead man crying

as they pried his hands apart

                                          blood red hands and eyes of blue.                                         

His face? It broke my heart.

 

I saw that dead man crying.

It was a face that I knew well.

I could not live without her love

and now, I’m bound for Hell.
