The Taste of My Tears
The taste of my tears
Like salt on my open
Wounds never heal in
This house is always broken like
My reflection is distorted in
The water is so tempting to
Drown in my self pity until
I float above all
This pain makes me feel
It’s hopeless to tell only the truth so
I lie on my bed and fade into
Nothing matters to me anymore when
Everything is lost and I want to be
Found no peace in my dreams when I
Sleep never comes easy so I stay
Awake to all the ugliness of my life
I cry out when I can no longer hold in the
Poison seems to plague
My mind feels so empty yet it’s
Weighed down by so much
Misery loves company, so why am I
Alone in my thoughts, I wish
I could die by my own hands, but I’d only burn in
Hell is on earth, so I look to
The heavens seem to frown upon
My face is soaked in
The taste of my tears
