You Give Me Tears

You give me tears
When I cannot cry
You forgive my fears
When I want to die

You have words of wisdom
That always brings a smile
With all my heart I wish you freedom
From this world that is vile

The truth grows from you
In this place long forgotten
All these things left to do
The lies that grow rotten

The tears that you bring
Left hanging upon me
The closing of this perfumed spring
All these blossoms that cannot be

The fears that are true
And make my life despairing
The fears are you
This harshness is glaring

I can cry after you
When you leave me in your trails
I know all the reasons are true
Everything fails

Life after you is not living
All the things that make it go wrong
I now know why you kept leaving
I don't know why it took me so long

The end of this book
The beginning so fanciful
All the things that I mistook
Now all these things are painful

You give me tears
When I cannot cry
You forgive my fears
When I want to die

The tears are here
The cry is free
I have every reason to fear
This isn't me

I'm left in the past
In the empty space of time
All the things that should have last
Life is the crime

Follow the light of me
And find the reason why I leave
Any of me can you see?
There is so much time for you to grieve

I loved you until my heart was gone
The hole is gaping released
All of this is so wrong!
I am left deceased

That place you call mine
The things that bare my name
The dust from passing time
Blood of pain

In the end we are gone
The time will come to walk away
Don't drag this goodbye long
I can't let you stay

You give me tears
When I cannot cry
You forgive my fears
When I want to die

That place you called mine
Is gone from the emptiness left
The truths that are left behind
All the lies are for theft

The veil is lifted
The kiss is left upon your lips
To have this parting is gifted
Still the blood will drip

Cry me to sleep
The tears that you gave
The cuts are deep
Forever your slave
