Dry Tears

They won’t just touch my soul and set me free

Eagerly will open the deepest of wounds and fest on my worst fears

Harshly undress my faith and crush my hope

 

Victoriously laugh to celebrate my doom

Bleed me red to suffer in dry tears

Waltz with my ghost to slowly scatter my temple

 

Taunt to enliven my mistakes

Proudly glorifying my shames

Only to win a soul that has been defeated

 

I sense them overstepping my shadow

The monsters catching up with my heart and mind

Will I score the final touchdown or will they devour me whole

 

Touch so contagious

The poison burns running wild in my veins

Won’t be long for when I am all at once taken away
