Bloody Tears

by broken angel   Apr 15, 2005


The red drops flow so smoothly
Against my porcelain skin
Can you see the darkness growing
Shadows breeding deep within

You just can't seem to understand
This is how I cope with pain
When you cry, its from your eyes
But my tears flow from my veins

My body cries crimson tears
each small cut that I make
My veins are starving; weak and dry
How long before I break?

You only see this scared body
Can you even see this?
Or do you pretend that it's all okay
Am I really that easy to dismiss?

I wish I could stop somehow
I wish I could save me
I wish I knew a way to learn
how to cry instead of bleed

*Crying bloody tears*

    Actually knew nothing about this site until a friend of mine shared this poem on our FB page...which I help administer for fun...(when we made up she told me it was a poem from this site)...I'm a songwriter and she is my sweetheart....during an argument...I thought she was feeling this way...and made up these words and was so amazed at how easily I put guitar to it...I thought it would be a fantastic song..to help those who like to cut..(not a good thing)...I worked out the song...and would really like permission to collaborate on this...Not sure if I'm stepping over any boundaries here...I've been a writer on sound cloud for 2 years now...and I understand a lot about following rules...I think these lyrics are laid out brilliantly...with a few minor changes and a hook added...would be awesome...its an older poem...so, I'll hope the author is still active on this internet,,,
