Tears

I cry for the rejection on the terrifying nights;

That fill my glass with tears, tears of blood

From a wounded heart endlessly walking

Longing to be wanted and loved.

Tears like rivers, lakes, and oceans all flooding my chest,

And everything swirls within their murky depths;

Saturating my empty heart while I lie in bed.

Tears that in the dark nights my eyes without compassion

Seized by the madness of this miserable fate;

Tears that have reddened like crimson my saddened eyes

And the light is extinguished, now wandering

The darkness of the night like wayward ships;

I pray to God for His comfort and repose,

To give my soul peace of mind.

Now I hear the soft whisper of His voice

In the restless night.
