The Tears Start to Fall

By: Desiree Joy Slotter

I look up and I see the stars, the tears start to fall. I take a walk
out in my backyard and I start thinking about you, the tears start to
fall. I started thinking about the love we shared the things we did
together, like I said I was thinking of you, the tears start to fall.
I thought about the first time you asked me out, the tears start to fall.
I remember when you sang to me at the talent show you surprised me,
the tears start to fall. I got to thinking about our walks in the city
at the park late at night, the tears start to fall. Then that night,
I thought all about that night, the tears start to fall. The sounds
and the screams I really started to think, the tears start to fall.
You stood in front of me, you protected me, the tears start to fall.
I was thinking about them putting you into that grave, the tears start
to fall. Then I remember that you died for me, you had him shoot you
instead of me, the tears start to fall.
