Acid Tears (Unfinished)

I just want to touch you
I promise I will not cry
For my tears I can hold back
Long enough to try

Watering eyes
I move closer to your skin
A thought of ecstacy flashes by
Tears roll down to my chin

Your scarred flesh
Again, wipes them dry
Smell of smoldering skin fills the room
As I being to cry

I am to be nothing
We can never be
My acid tears
Will not kill me
