Holy Tears
Tara MacLean
Wrapped inside a twisted world
I can't decide what is even real anymore
as though I ever knew
Tangled in these silhouettes
floating face down in a river of regrets
and thoughts of you
Holy tears
they linger on
Holding you
my light
forever gone
You believed she'd never leave
Rosy cheeked and oh so young
and full of flame
Here in this bed of emptiness
Button by button I come undone
and only twenty-one
Holy tears
they linger on
Holding you
my life
forever gone
Gone like the broken words at your feet
You're gone in the venom lips that kiss me sweetly
Gone like a frightened bird into the sky
Won't you take everything I ever had
and leave me to die as I cry
Holy tears
they linger on
Holding you
my love
forever gone
