RED TEARS

Tears form behind my eyes but I do not cry
If I said I missed you it would be a lie
What I feel is more then words
It’s beyond emotion it’s the end of my world
You were every thing to me, you were all I had
Now im trying to search for some thing I have left
How could you go and leave me all alone?
Drowning in the dark? Drowning on my own?
You took your self from this world and left me here to rot,
I too Once tried to end my life but leave you, I could not
You taught me how to cry
You taught me how to love
Last night you came to me and asked me to join you up above
I pull the shiny blade and watch it break my skin
Red tears leak from my wrists and my pain begins
I lower my broken body into the bath and watch the water turn red
I close my eyes and drift towards the light with you at the other end
