A Different Kind of Tears

Folder:

I will not cry for you tears of pain

black jewels of hidden sorrow

lying weary in the dark

in the image of a blacker tomorrow.



I will not cry for you tears of spite

anger in the shade of these flames

that lie in the hearth and whisper the words

I would scream as I do curse your name.



I will not cry for you tears of envy

and let the darkness reflect in my soul

the bitterness seen in my ice frosted deeds

as I feel my heart swiftly grow old.



I will not cry for you tears of desire

red much like my jewel coloured lips

thoughts of love swept with the sand

can't be confined with my own fingertips.



I will cry for you a different kind of tears

the ones that I feel of regret

for the others not cried in persuit of the things

that we all see you can not take yet.

i like it all but this part rocked

"I will not cry for you tears of desire
red much like my jewel coloured lips
thoughts of love swept with the sand
can't be confined with my own fingertips."
