Tears of Blood
I remember you once told me never to cry,
That my eyes would dry,
And I shed more tears than I ever had before.
You said that if I wept on your behalf again
You would die,
And they found you on your reddened floor.
No. You said it was a lie, you wouldn't kill yourself,
Your heart that loved has stopped,
And so has mine.
Your urn sits solely on my shelf,
When will I see you again?
It's only a matter of time.
Time before I go crazy, I think,
I'll go mad then take my life.
I want to write to you more notes,
But the pen is just dripping ink.
I need you now I'm in strife.
I wonder,
Was it my fault you died that night?
I remember you once told me that life was good, not to cry,
That my eyes would dry, and they did.
I guess, like then, you are right.
But then why did you?
Life is not good. You left.
You made it worthwhile,
To me no one had ever been so true.
You left me without a word of goodbye.
You were my everything, and I was yours.
I am sorry. No more will I cry,
For now I am on my own reddened floor.
