A Tomb of Tears
Bloody salt pours and I fight for
my life.
I’ve fought before, but never like
this. I’ve died before but never
this close to hell. I’ve laughed
before but not in years and I’ve
mourned before but never this
deeply.
Seriousness creeps and my smile
falls asleep. On the brink of a cliff
that leads to the ground of never
more. Feel me in the breeze but
please break my heart-
I am searching for pain to feel
again. I am numb from loss and
never again shall I reveal your
innocence.
I hit my head with my hand again-
I lay in shock about what my life
has sadly become. I needed the
thirst of your love and the loss
of you craving me has dug me
a grave.
A tomb of tears from
all the yesteryears-
