All My Fallen Tears
Clinging to the edge
of sanity,
how did I get so far away
from all that used to make sense
to me.
Praying that you'll lead me
to the pastures
where honey flows through
the streams.
But until I get there
I won't see beyond
the darkness.

All my pain
you can taste it in my tears.
I built my shelter
from these tears.
All that I've held in
throughout these years.
Save me from all of my fears.
Catch me and
all of my fallen tears.

Lay beside me
the doll I used to play with
as a little girl.
Show me all the stitches
twined throughout her skin
kind of like the threads
that hold together my own heart.
The pressure of the void
is pulling them apart
apart
until they snap and fall
to pieces.

All my pain
you can taste it in my tears.
I built my shelter
from these tears.
All that I've held in
throughout these years.
Save me from all of my fears.
Catch me and
all of my fallen tears.

Whispering the words:
leave me here to die.
Don't make me go through this
life.
Bring peace to my soul
before I dig into my wrists
with my own anger.

Let me fall away
away from here.
Forget what it was
that kept you near.
Don't remember
a word I said.
Stare into the cold eyes
of a face so dead.
Put me to rest.
