Red
Red
Dearest tears,
Salty ones. How you burden my eyes and soul.
Will you not,
if for just a moment, disappear where once you came.
May you bleed, deep inside of me, where you are hidden from you and me.
May you swell and drown in fear in the chambers of my broken heart.
Lie there, lie there in the eternal darkness and redness of my flowing blood.
Dearest tears,
Salty ones. Don't let them see, the lonely one.
Salty ones. How you burden my eyes and soul.
Will you not,
if for just a moment, disappear where once you came.
May you bleed, deep inside of me, where you are hidden from you and me.
May you swell and drown in fear in the chambers of my broken heart.
Lie there, lie there in the eternal darkness and redness of my flowing blood.
Dearest tears,
Salty ones. Don't let them see, the lonely one.
