Scarlet Tears

Sickness in my mind.

Sickness in my heart.

Deep inside me,

I am slowly breaking apart.


My eyes are blank.

My smile is fake.

But nobody notices.

They never give instead they take.


They take my happiness.

They take my dreams.

But I still smile and laugh.

So no one sees through the seams.


No one sees until my tears finally fall.

But not the tears you think.

Instead of a clear stream,

It's blood red in my sink.


Just because you see no tears,

Doesn't mean none has fell.

Because under these long sleeves I wear,

Are the signs of my hell.


And inside my hell,

I'm crying scarlet tears.
