Bloody Tear

upon a cheek a tear

yet cried

and to the blood of death

I died

my heart and soul

need yet each other

together my self

will no longer suffer

the woman I love

and the skin that I breath

the nights that we sweat

and the passion conceived

my soul needs a prayer

and my heart needs her touch

the future so blurry

I can't see so much

and the cheek

that the tear

does falleth in place

my arms yet so heavy

for the needed embrace

my feet are so weary

from the traveling I've done

my knees be pardoned

for falling in dust

my clothes are all tattered

but it's not that the blessing

I seek

I ask for God's blessing

and my lover's kiss

I ask for the weary

to be given in her arms

I ask for the tear

be wiped by her lips
