Untitled2

Rain, rain, go away.
Because of you the pain 
Will stay.

Slit my throat 
Cut out my heart,
Leave me here and 
Tear me apart.

Poison tears stream 
Down my face, 
My heart beats at a 
Steady pace 

As I try to stand again 
Alone and in the rain 

I don’t need you 
Anymore…
Is what I think while 
Tears pour.

I hate you like I 
Hate my life,

But love is what 
Cuts like a knife 
Love is death 
And death is you.

It pain stains like a 
Black tattoo. 

Those memories come 
Back again 
And bind me in the 
Ropes of pain.

Crimson blood down my head,

Like a long silk ribbon,
Tied by a thread.

To a sliver bullet, 
A hole in my skull 

… Now just a memory 
That’s faded to a dull…

Now I’m free of sorrow and 
Of you.
