Tears

Tears are falling from my eyes
They fall so fast they won’t subside
I’m fat and ugly not what you want
Why couldn’t you tell me all this up front
Stab me with that steely knife in your hand
Let my pain make you feel like a man
I’ve given you a child I’ve brought you life
All I ask in return is that you show love to your wife
Why wont you touch me do I disgust you so bad
Your lack of love it drives me mad
Never could I hurt or leave you
My love for you has and always will be true
How could I leave my soul is trapped my body its cage
Shale I wait for death to take me of old age

These tears they fall down so strong is the flow
I have succumbed to the darkness it’s all I now know
Off in the distance I hear the wolves howl
He’s coming to get me he has found me some how
The devil’s come to collect his due
I’ve gone and sold my soul to be loved by you
My beast comes before me we stand eye to eye
The storm is here I stand beneath a darkened sky

My heart slowly hardens darkens turning pain into anger
These tears fall still as I begin to wither
A hand reaches out could it be you still love me
You push me off the cliff and shout you have no love so could and bluntly
Good night cruel world I am gone forever my eyes still moist
My pain and sorrow shale forever go unvoiced
