ScaRLeT TeARs

The faster there falling.
The redder they become.
I was so perfect before.
But now I’ve come undone.

The pain they bring.
And release at the same time.
These scarlet tears.
I’ll keep them as mine.

The longer I cry.
The more I grow faint.
The blood leaves the body.
Of your perfect saint.

The more tears that fall.
All down my face.
Show my imperfections.
In a scarlet disgrace.

The love that kills me.
Causes me to die.
These scarlet tears of mine.
That silently I cry.
