Bloody Tears

Can’t seem to find footing on this slippery slope
Tears flow quick as blood
Blood flows thin as tears
The cut is deep 
But he don’t care
Just keeps pushing the knife in my heart
‘Till my world goes black. 

He doesn’t turn around, he doesn’t look back
He never knew what we had
Just pushes and shoves
Takes it all, and never gives back
Never sees the tears on my face
Just gazes straight through them 
Not an ounce of compassion in his heart
For the one that vowed to never ever part

Tears and blood flows
My heart doesn’t ever stop
It hurts and hurts and never quits
It burns and bleeds, and yearns for him to come back
He’s nowhere to be seen, 
Yet he’s in front of my face
Why does he have to be this way, 
Nothing but an empty vessel
Feeding on my Bloody Tears.

Excellent telling. Painful, self hurting position to take..he doesn't know love...he can't see it...you can't show him..this is your lesson. Please read The Wolf's Tale. PS He never deserved you. LIGHT & Love
