Painted Tears

A world

Painted in tears.

The ones we don't cry

Are the ones we fear.

Lost in a paradise

Far from what it's called.

Tragically waiting for life

And a place to call home.

Painted tears

Show no love

For those we want

And wish to hold.

Painted tears.

Colors not bold.

There's an emptiness

That lies beyond the cold.

A world

I wish that was ours.

A lost paradise

Waiting beyond the stars.

Blood red

Fills the sink

Fills the water

But doesn't fill my veins.

Painted tears

Run down my cheeks.

Painted tears.

I wish to no longer weep.

Where are you,

My lost paradise?
