Array ( [sid] => 42468 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Bitter Tears [time] => 2004-04-09 12:21:42 [hometext] => [bodytext] => Bitter tears stain my weathered face
Rolling down to replenish my dry lips
The taste of bittersweet deliverance
Present with every salty bead it drips

Tears roll on as I reveal my downfall
My shimmering salvation in all its glory
Carefully crafted with souls of the fallen
My polished blade tells its own sad story

I stroke the blade over my wrist gently
Imagining the release from pain I will feel
Its sharpened blade will deliver me from pain
The torturous pain that is all just too real

I gather all my courage to push the blade in
I can feel the blade score my awaiting flesh
I feel almost immediate release of my demons
I feel my lifeblood, my blade and skin mesh

From my wrist, I feel it trickle down my fingers
Mixing with the droplets of my bittersweet tears
Almost rhythmic, my blood pumps its regret
With every slowing beat of my heart I release my fears

My salvation lingers in the midst, luring me closer
I slowly drift away from the pain I felt for so long
From the cage that has trapped my flailing soul
Away to the serene place where my spirit will belong

Bitter tears stain my weathered face
Rolling down to replenish my dry lips
The taste of bittersweet deliverance
Present with every salty bead it drips

Tears roll on as I reveal my downfall
My shimmering salvation in all its glory
Carefully crafted with souls of the fallen
My polished blade tells its own sad story

I stroke the blade over my wrist gently
Imagining the release from pain I will feel
Its sharpened blade will deliver me from pain
The torturous pain that is all just too real

I gather all my courage to push the blade in
I can feel the blade score my awaiting flesh
I feel almost immediate release of my demons
I feel my lifeblood, my blade and skin mesh

From my wrist, I feel it trickle down my fingers
Mixing with the droplets of my bittersweet tears
Almost rhythmic, my blood pumps its regret
With every slowing beat of my heart I release my fears

My salvation lingers in the midst, luring me closer
I slowly drift away from the pain I felt for so long
From the cage that has trapped my flailing soul
Away to the serene place where my spirit will belong
