BLOOD TEARS

The pain bleeds down my face
In streams of pure madness
My own reflection taunting me
Strangled by the ligature of silence
Force fed lies never to cease
Rage scorns the demons beneath
Choking on air failing to see
You were never there for me
Now I am bathed in blood
Overwhelmed with sadness
Drowning while it rains inside
Nowhere to go, nowhere to hide
