I cry crimson tears
heavy droplets of sadness & blood
buried beneath the surface unspoken fears
emotions held silent spring forth in a flood.
I cry too little, I cry too much
you don't try to understand
you search my face then look away for a crutch
something to help you... isn't this grand?
My heart openly re-shatters
nightly laying in pieces... on the floor in tatters
I love you and I hate you all the same
just when I think to leave, you call my name.
I live and shine because of you
your anger and indifference runs through
I wither and die because of you
not sure which direction would be true?
You stand in front of me strong as stone
I reach through eternal darkness into your zone
trying to touch you and bring you light
my words fall on heavy ears and we end in a fight.
There is no pill or drink to cure me
my sadness comes too easy & I may never be right
I dread the next words from thee
you & I may never make it to the light.
Where do I go from here
where do I go from you
how do I make it thru life with or even without you
how do I choose either- tears, a broken heart & a keg of beer? I wish things were as easy as slipping on a shoe.
You make threats
spoken out of anger
I make threats
this sad excuse for a relationship constantly floating in danger.
We make each other feel bad
then we pick up the pieces
we condemn ourselves to a shared Hell...
& being mad.
My heart beats wildly at the sight of you
my brain screams out in anger & pain
my eyes tear up & feel like they're burning thru
and my feet move towards you, hands yearning to touch you though I fight against it in vain.
You torture me softly
you torture me slowly
a love this strong & painful so costly
can make someone feel so lowly!
Take me to Hell and back again
take my love & rip me up
end me again with just a shove
melt me down to nothing & pour me in a cup
drink up my bitterness & pain
love gave you so much to gain!
We play this stupid game of "Tag"
becoming so angry than falling in love
my heart gets tossed around on the floor like a rag
wish I could unleash my chains - fly free like a Dove
every other night when it's not yours it's my fault
shoulda kept my heart locked in that vault.
Who said love was great
who said it would be happiness & joy
whenever you find the "Perfect Mate"
love ends up being nothing more than the most hurtful of adult toys!
I cry tears of blood
though you don't see them
you're one of the few able to make me feel like mud
the more I cry the more problems stem.
You look at me, but you do not see my face
you listen but you do not hear the words
you do not see how you make my aching heart race
your anger & disapproval turn my stomach into curds.
Am I better or am I worse
can I make it through a lifetime with you
mix love with hurt to see you until you meet the hearse... or will all the hurt be too much & make me say "we're through" ?
The road to Hell is paved with good intentions.... and my tears of crimson blood.
