Poison Tears

by Jordan Anderson
(Abbotsford)

Rain, rain, go away,
Because of you the pain will stay.
Slit my throat, cut out my heart,
Leave me here, tear it apart.
Poison tears stream down my face,
My heart beats at a steady pace
As I try to stand again;
Alone and standing in the rain.
I don’t need you anymore…
It's what I think while my tears pour.
I hate you like I hate my life
Love is what cuts like a knife.
Love is death and death is you;
Its pain stains like a black tattoo.
Those memories come back again and
Bind me in the ropes of pain.
Crimson blood streams down my head
Like a long, silk ribbon tied by a thread,
To a platinum bullet, a hole in my skull…
Now just a memory that’s faded and dull.
