Salty sweet silent tears

Breath stopping as she slowly hears

The condition that has threatened her all along

Played a risky game and won 


Salty sweet silent tears 

Sighing as it only jeers

Thinking of a silver moon

That could end her fighting soon 


Salty sweet silent tears

The only thing that drowns out all her fears 

As she sees cancer's threatening smile

Wishing she could turn the dial 


Salty sweet silent tears

Screaming as she covers her ears

Wishing cancer would let her be

As it turns the heavy key 


Salty sweet silent tears 

Cringing as her vision clears 

Seeing there is no tommorow 

As she returns the life that wasn't hers to borrow 


Salty sweet silent tears

The only raindrops she ever hears

As she feels herself slipping away

Reaching the dawn of a new day 


Salty sweet silent tears 

Slowly wasting as her end nears

She lays in peace with hope for a new day

But her memory only goes in vain


Salty sweet silent tears

Reaching as they watch the one so dear

Leave their world without a breath, without a word 

The salty sweet tears leaving their visions forever blurred
