Rogue Tear (Revised)

Sing a song of sadness

About a girl with a happy face

Dieing of a broken heart

And rotting fumes of lace



Trespassing into open minds

Let me be your bride

Choking back emotion

As her tears pour out your eyes



Searching for acceptance

In a racist little town

Is love too much to ask for

From a family that’s your own



Crumbling hearts beat faster

As the ecstasy takes hold

Running far away from here

Her hate is getting cold



Fall asleep, avoid her eyes

Try not to cry in pain

A single touch shatters her life

And your blood spills out her veins



Is this the part where you hold her close

Confess your love

Before it’s too late

You’ve everything to lose

And nothing to gain

But eternity in Hell

If you join her now

Grab the knife, kill your life

It’s her turn to bleed and your turn to cry

As your tears gush out her eyes





Dream a poisoned story

Of a glass-veined, tired girl

Dieing of a broken heart

And crying tears of pearl



Whisper now your short goodbye

Hold her close to you

Her breathe speeds up, his heart slows down

Their lips are turning blue



Assure her that it’s all okay

Smile for her love

She never breathes a word of thanks

And your time is almost up



Weep a withered story

Of two star-crossed lovers’ deaths

Broken by a crippled heart

And murdered by prejudice



The sun is slowly setting now

A comet streaks the sky

Her tear falls on his cheek

As they both lie there to die

Author's Notes/Comments:
