Blood Only Means Tears… and More Blood

 

How can you breathe this air?

It feels like we’re going nowhere

We all promised not to

How could you?

You broke the pact we made

I’m not going to let this scar fade

You’re scaring and hurting us both

I don’t see how you could break our oath

We need to stop

Before our friends start to drop

As you start to slice, I cry

I’m not going to watch you die

We love you and that should be enough

We really need to work out all this stuff

I won’t watch you bleed

But you don’t hear my plead

I won’t let you end up on the floor

Not because you chose the wrong door

Ill help you hold on

Until you can find a dawn

We all love you and need you here

Even if you’re not with the one you once held dear

But that’s not his fault

You kept your heart locked up in a vault

You stayed locked away

And you didn’t want to stay

You wanted him back

But you left him in the black

You put him out like a flame

He probably knew in the way you said his name

I don’t wanna lose you cuz you lost him

Your flame begins to grow dim

Don’t leave me now, when I need you

I don’t care what you do

It’s your life

Just don’t pick up that knife

Don’t make me cry

Or make any others die

We’d all die for you

But you don’t have a clue

These scars don’t really show how we feel

We know these wounds will never heal

We want you here with us

We won’t let you turn to dust

Not all by yourself

So I won’t put this problem up on a shelf

Not this time

That’s why I wrote this rhyme
