leaking

my eyes won't stop leaking like a rusty faucet
sometimes fast sometimes slow
a smile now and then for all the love
a sob to saying goodbye
i'm so happy for you and joyful
i know you'll never cry again
i'm so grateful for all you were to me
just wish i had a few more years to say so
they say it goes in stages and i'll grow
to finally accept the hole that never heals
this side of the glory you're dancing in
but i feel like it's a roller coast of each one
ad infinitum in these short hours
no regrets you know i loved you so
and i couldn't have asked for a better you
i'd say as much with my arms around you
if i could one more time
you're still proud of me though in the cloud
everlasting witness of His grace to live
though memories to come will be bittersweet
without you there to share
these leaky eyes are simply testimonies
of a life well done now missed
