Tears

Tears

All days and all nights
I can hardly see the light 
Through my burning eyes.
Tears ooze like blood from fresh wound 
And tastes like bitter poison.

Ah, my beautiful friend, who was crazy enough to have made you shed these tears? It seems it's me who have been remiss! I missed this one...I know you'll forgive me, crazy that I am. Like it though. Hugs and smiles from lovely me :D
