Tears of blood

I think that I am fading away,
Tears of blood are here to stay.
I feel them as they they trickle down.
Washing away my theory of the person I knew,and, the love I thought we had found.

Our love was never what I thought it to be,
I realized my error too late.
My heart, and my soul were nothing but pawns in a sick, twisted, game you called “Fate”.

I devoured the lies that you told me,
I believed in you from that first kiss.
Every word from you mirrored our synchronicity.
Who knew that deception,cloaked as true love, could manipulate and twist me like this.

When your mask came off,and I saw the truth
so vile, I could no longer deny.
I saw your cold eyes,and heard your cruel words blaming me,and I didn’t know why.

My kindness was evident,my intentions were pure,
but I ignored all the signs on the road.
All the hopes and the dreams that we talked of, turned out to be nothing but fool's gold.

My tears are now crimson,dark as my heart
I don’t know what’s real anymore.
Yet l still see a flicker,underneath the destruction, waiting for me to open the door.

By,

Randy McPeek

Whose arms would I stumble for in darkness?
Lips laced with liquor and memories lost.
To see you once again, a drunken mess,
Kiss me without pondering the real cost.
My footsteps are fading fast before me,
My vision becoming blurred and dull.
The lights are dimming; you are all I see.
Catch me fast to break this heart throbbing lull.
What shall I say to you with drunken thoughts?
Will honesty linger on my bleached tongue?
My stomach is churning, my heart in knots
Please make me happy like songs I once sung.
Will you ever forgive me for this mess?
I need you to love me once more, not less.

Love from you is like a gift
One that keeps on giving
If you weren't in my life
It wouldn't be worth living

Your love is the oxygen that I breathe
The blood pumped by my heart
Standing by your side
Never shall we part

Sometimes I want to wrap myself in you
And never let you go
Other times feeling desperate inside
Wanting to let you know

Your love is the fuel that feeds this fire
Burning day and night
Your beauty only fans the flames
We hold each other tight

Making love was magic
All our energy gone
Grateful for this night
We welcome in the dawn

Another day beginning
In our wonderful life
So happy I'm your husband
And thankful you're my wife

Internal fires
all a rage
Maybe it's time
to turn the page

Your words to me
have become so trite
Some time alone
would be a delight

You walk the earth
to deceive
I think it's time
for me to leave

Love and devotion
is what I need
Not to incubate
a poison seed

For us there'll be
no horse and carriage
The time has come
to end this marriage

From deepest ocean
to outer space
yours is the love
I can't replace

Not a setting sun
or swans majestic grace
can match the beauty
of your face

The way the moonlight
compliments your skin
to be so lovely
should be a sin

To look at you
I see perfection
I'm so glad
we made a connection

Father Time has aged you well
your very essence has me under it's spell
Never wanting to be set free
I am yours for eternity
