sound of a salty tear

~Sound Of A Salty Tear~

One evening as I was walking down,
To see the town.
Too see what I could see,
Maybe today there just  might be,
Another someone just like me.

Down on main street,
I listen for a beat.
The beat of another lonely heart,
to be connected and never to part.

In the distance I can hear,
A single salty tear.
Being born in his eye,
And run down his face as he looks too the sky.

I move closer to the sound,
As the tear reaches the ground.
I round the corner to see a man all alone,
With his face set in stone.

In one swift move I see his hand reach for something not so fun,
A little hand held gun.
He sets the trigger and puts it to his head,
He wishes he was dead.

I quickly but calmly walk towards him each footstep followed by an echo,
Then he began to bellow.

"JANE!! ever since you left me it has done nothing but rain, I can no longer take this pain."
All the while his face still pointed towards the sky.

Now three feet away,
I don't know what to say.
Heavy breathing is all I can hear,
In this crazy atmosphere.

"Excuse me sir but what has happened to you today, to make you feel in such a way?"
With his face still pointed upward,
He began to described something absurd.

"I can't see way she can, but she left me for another man." I gave he money and all the riches, but she left me like all the other bitches!"

"I'm sorry sir for all your pain, but there most be something to clear this rain?"

"The only way to rid myself of this rain, is to put a bullet in my brain."

Horrified by his remark,
I suddenly felt a spark.
Deep down inside my heart,
I could feel the butterflies begin to start.
There is something about this man I know,
I can feel it from head to toe.

I stepped out in front of the mysterious stranger,
While feeling no danger.
As I am looking into his eyes,
That are still fixed on the skies.
I finally came into view,
With the man a surely new.

"Dear sir there must be another way, to make this a beautiful day."

At that moment he stopped and looked at that spot.
The spot where I stood,
I would move if I could.

"Sweet little lady is it such a crime, to waste time?"

Confused by his remark,
I didn't know were to start.

"Is it a crime to waste time? a time of love, love that can sore like a dove, high above. So high in the sky, That it could make you cry."

"I had a girl by the name of Jane, I loved he so much it drove me insane. But now that she is gone I feel nothing but pain, from this god forsaken rain."

"Before I seen you my world was blue, I can see in your eyes a love oh so true. Would you care if I walked with you."

With a swift move of his hand he dropped his gun,
Now seeing that death was not so fun.

"A walk is all I ask from you, to see a world bright and new.
For in your eyes I can see, that you are the same as me."
"A lonely heart, looking for a new start. Won't you care to join me on this magical mystery, can't you see that we were meant to be."

"With eyes so deep and dark, I can see your spark. The spark of wanting something new, maybe something I could share with you."

On the lonely street all I can hear,
Is another single salty tear.
Being born in my eye then slowly run down my cheek in a flash,
Then I feel the smash.
Of his lips upon my face,
The feeling took me to outer space.

With his face now drawn back,
I could see his face was red from the act.

"I'm sorry my dear for my action, it must seem so out of fashion."

Now with his head hung low,
Waiting to receive the blow.
From my hand,
But I could never hurt this man.

"Thank you" I said, with your kiss I feel un-dead."

With eyes so bright,
He could see that I wouldn't put up much for a fight.
He began to smile,
A smile so big it could stretch a mile.

"Won't you join me dear, maybe even for a beer. At a place I know called the cavern, it's a wonderful little tavern. For I am in a band,
that is oh so grand."

"I wish to invite you to come see me play, on this now glorious day."

Amazed by his invitation,
"Sure" I said "I bet it will be a real sensation."
