These Tears

These tears; they fall

And I should not exist at all

But the water marks my existence

Like these scars mark my resistance

And these lies; they crawl

Down the steps and through the hall

Until they're strangling my neck

And my heart beat is but a failing wreck

And this hate! It calls!

It builds in my chest- as big as a ball

And I can't contain myself, you know

I've become as cold as the wind that blows

And this hurt! It mauls!

It shreds me to pieces- one and all

And if I could just hear salvation's bell

I might be able to crawl my way out of hell

But this silence! It stalls!

It grips my soul- it's a cabal

And should I never be heard again

I would say the silence was my only friend

Oh, these tears; they fall

And I can do naught with them at all

Except wait for the end of the flood

And hope it doesn't end with my blood.
