Tears of Blood

The cloud cries tears of rain,
The tree cries tears of leaves.
The roses cry tears of petals,
But I cry tears of blood.

This feeling, you don’t know it,
It’s like being stabbed in the heart
With a knife.

What are cloud without rain?
What are trees without leaves?
What are roses without petals?
What am I without blood,
What am I without eyes?

The clouds are nothing.
The trees are nothing. 
The roses are nothing,
But I am dead.

Is it better to be dead or to be nothing?
I do not know, although I feel that I should.
