Scarlet Tears
Can she scream?
Cry?
Live?
die....
She can cry silently
Cry Scarlet Tears.
as the tears fall down,
they sting the scars
she raises the blade....
and throws it across the floor
no more.
She raises her head
Live?
die....
She can cry silently
Cry Scarlet Tears.
as the tears fall down,
they sting the scars
she raises the blade....
and throws it across the floor
no more.
She raises her head
Sees the storm clouds gather
In a purple sky
The rain begins to fall
and washes away the Scarlet Tears.
The rain
brings cool life to her skin
Covers her, drenches her
The Scarlet stains her shirt
She leaps....
Into a puddle and splashes the water,
So cool and cleansing
onto her legs and into her face.
Her blue eyes bare.
The makeup washed away
Scarlet Tears are no more
The lies are gone
The past...
dies
But all this time,
She swam in the lie
That he really loved her
But he really didn't...
And even though he says he still does,
she knows he doesn't
The Scarlet Tears
Come to haunt her again
And the rain
Cannot wash them away.
They sunk down deep
into her skin
and poisoned her.
When the rain came again
She raised the blade again
And the wind took it away...
But it pricked her finger
And she fell to the ground
A Scarlet Pool around her...
The Scarlet Tears still haunt her
Even though it's been years
since she's started over again
Her fear will never leave her
Fear of lies,
Fear of love,
Fear of hurt,
Fear of hate,
Fear of rejection...
She chases the wind
Listens to it's whispers
And into the night
She disappears
Running after the blade...
And back to Scarlet Tears
The rain
brings cool life to her skin
Covers her, drenches her
The Scarlet stains her shirt
She leaps....
Into a puddle and splashes the water,
So cool and cleansing
onto her legs and into her face.
Her blue eyes bare.
The makeup washed away
Scarlet Tears are no more
The lies are gone
The past...
dies
But all this time,
She swam in the lie
That he really loved her
But he really didn't...
And even though he says he still does,
she knows he doesn't
The Scarlet Tears
Come to haunt her again
And the rain
Cannot wash them away.
They sunk down deep
into her skin
and poisoned her.
When the rain came again
She raised the blade again
And the wind took it away...
But it pricked her finger
And she fell to the ground
A Scarlet Pool around her...
The Scarlet Tears still haunt her
Even though it's been years
since she's started over again
Her fear will never leave her
Fear of lies,
Fear of love,
Fear of hurt,
Fear of hate,
Fear of rejection...
She chases the wind
Listens to it's whispers
And into the night
She disappears
Running after the blade...
And back to Scarlet Tears
