Tears

I cry in the dark so no one sees my tears
I cry in the dark so my screams no one hears
I cry in the dark so no one sees my tears
I cry in the dark so I can't see my fears

These tears I cry flow like the rain
These little portraits of my pain
Tears of red flow out my chest and out my wrist
And through these misty eyes I can't see the best of this

I lie alone and try to figure how I came to be
The person in the mirror staring back at me
I watch as all I know fade into my past
And wonder how long all this regret I have will last

I cry with a blade cutting through my pain
And from my wrist these tears of red they rain
The ones I've hurt their screams swim in my head
And for all the ones I've lost I bleed these tears of red
