Tears A' Shed

Many tears daily a’ shed,
Among this world so cold and cruel.
I watch as to yourselves you’re so baneful.
And proud to know that you’re all dead.

Razors to hearts and drops the red.
Wearing a mask as translucent as beryl,
 Many tears daily a’ shed,
Among this world so cold and cruel.

I remember a time when I once bled,
To reminisce on the feeling is all too awful.
Why do you all make depression so ample,
And find that happiness is only when dead?
Many tears daily a’ shed.

(I know it's a rondel, but it isn't in the choices.)

For the rondel contest..
