Tears Rained Down

Tears rained down

From the broken sky,

Mixing with those

From his own eye.

The silence was shattered

By the sound of his final cry,

Carried within the wind

Soon it was just a soft sigh.

Tears rained down

From the broken sky,

Mixing with those

From her own eye.

His empty chair still stands,

Next to her own,

Sleeping with his pillow

Helps her to feel not so alone.

Tears rained down

From the broken sky,

Mixing with those

From their own eye.

Brothers in blue

Just can’t say that final goodbye,

And the silence is shattered

By their angry cries of why?
