Siphoned Tear

Brought about by your pathetic lies

Wanting to break off all of our ties

Never thought it would end this way

You said you'd always be here to stay

 

Broken and tearful I sit in this room

My heart is beating to the rhythm, ba-boom

I want it to slow, to come to a halt

Cut open my wounds and douse them in salt

 

Never again will I stray from the path

No more can I sit and watch this bloodbath

This one small final tear that I cry

Is siphoned from your hatred and lies

 

Walking away, I will never look back

Never again can I follow those tracks

Like a train derailed on a cold winter day

I am no longer able to come out and play

 

Crying is pointless and even redundant

Unable to believe that you could have done that

This single tear wrought of despair

Falling, splashing, dissipating into the air

 

I couldn't see through your veil of kindness

But now I have lost all of that blindness

Now I can see how things were meant to be

You by yourself and me with only me

 

This single siphoned tear has opened my eyes

I could never believe such a dismal demise

But here they are, just as plain as day

All of the broken promises you've made

    I love this! Thank you for putting 'that's what you get when you let your heart win' in the AN, or I wouldn't have read it and seen how wonderful it is. I love the flow and the rhyme is anything but bad and forced. Thank you for entering my contest and good luck!!!

    Sometimes the hardest thing to admit to ourselves is that someone is no good for us and we shouldn't dwell on them. I know how hard it is for me to accept that.
