Poetry - Tears

Tears

Tears seep upon flesh
to die on parted lips

Gasping whispers
Bitter touch
Compulsive emotions

Standing alone - envy of drowning self

Tainted screams of yesterday
Dreaming, love me raging

Be the life of me

Soothing blood flows
Cooper puddles, scent of misery

Captivated laughter, deep within
Abused skin
Scared deeply

Teach me
Teach me

Blood runs cold, ecstasy unfolds

A facade of tomorrows to come
Tears of reality
Are near death
