O eyes that weep, with sorrow’s grace you flow,
Silent rivers marking pain we know.
Each tear a testament, each drop a sigh,
Reflecting heartache as the moments fly.
Eyes, you hold the world’s unspoken grief,
With every tear, a fleeting, sweet relief.
Through endless days and nights, you bear the toll,
Memories etched within the weeping soul.
Once, laughter danced within your bright embrace,
Hand in hand, love’s light, a warm embrace.
Now shadows linger, casting aching marks,
An emptiness that echoes in the dark.
Dear eyes, I plead for solace through your tears,
A balm to ease the pain of passing years.
Embrace the joy of moments long since past,
And bid farewell to sorrow, free at last.
Though tears unceasing fall, sincere and true,
In every drop, the love we knew.
In weeping, honor lives, and memories dear,
Finding solace in knowing they are near.
So wipe away the tears, let spirits rise,
Welcome the light that breaks through cloudy skies.
Release the sorrow, let the healing start,
For in release, we mend the heart.
O leaking eyes, my faithful guide,
Endless sadness, let peace now reside.
For in your gaze, love still abides,
And through your healing, we shall stride.
