"Tear Drops Become Me"
Tear drops become me
Slowly seeping, poisoning my vein
Drenching my soul with a dampness
My heart strings taunt, playing an unchained melody
Lyrics whispering languid promises of a dissipated love
You were my being, my breath spelling your name
Inhaling your love, exhaling your spirit
Your hand holding my essence
Inhabiting my person
My everything inverted to be my nothing
Scars adorning me, open and raw
No heartfelt assurances to bind my wounds
My blood sinuously seeping melancholy
Tear drops become me
