Tears as Dark

Today I wept tears of blood

Running ruse of hatred plots

They ran in torrents of a flood

Lakes forming in my heart of rot

Last morning when the sun had risen

From its bed of darkness blooming

Shining on my fouling prison

Light on steel the shadows booming

At the height of noon tomorrow

When my flesh is torn with pain

When tears fall in endless sorrow

Red and dark hot seeping rain

Call the hearken to the stars

Last thing left for me to see

Steal my carcass of its scars

So you may learn and then can flee

When hope is fled

And love is gone

The wounds are bled

No right or wrong

Running ruse of hatred plots

The rain a tormenting flood

And forming in my heart of rot

Hot tears the dark and red of blood
