Mascara Black Tears

Your tears remind me everyday
Of the sorrow I’ve caused you.
Never before
Did I see how much you cared
About me.

So much time
To think of how I’ve hurt you.
I wish I could take it back,
Change what I did.
But that’s not the way
That the sand falls.

An hourglass shows the truth.
That small yellow grain
Is me.
One of millions
Lost in the depths of time.

Come save me
From my wars within.
My chain mail
Is much too thin to endure.
My hands are too bloodied
To wield my sword.
Will you ever come?
Or will I fight them alone?

Your tear drops upon my hand
As I caress your face
And push back your hair.
Your soft touch
Brought me so much joy.

How I wish I could
Dance with you in the rain again.
Your clothes drenched,
Clinging closely
To your beautiful body.
But now,
The cold brings nothing but snow.

The mascara tears fall from your face
And turn as black as a country darkness.
A black sky so serene,
Made to hold our
Thoughts, hopes, and dreams.
At least I have the stars
To give me hope.

I’m flying so high in the sky,
I hope you’ll catch me when I fall.
If my wings burn as I approach the sun,
Save me and hold me in your arms.
Please prevent me from Icarus’s fate.

This is the way life should be.
A place without war,
Without hate,
Nothing but love.

And you shine through it all,
You pierce the darkness
As never before.
An unquenchable fire in my soul.
Will you catch me when I fall?

But I know you’re gone.
Too far gone.
It’s much too late,
To salvage the love I lost.
No one to catch me.
Now I’m falling to the ground
With your tears close to my heart.

I close my eyes
And remember

How you loved me so.
