Rain, rain, go away, <br />Because of you the pain will stay. <br />Slit my throat, cut out my heart, <br />Leave me here, tear it apart. <br /> <br />Poison tears stream down my face, <br />My heart beats at a steady pace <br />As I try to stand again; <br />Alone and standing in the rain. <br /> <br />I don’t need you anymore… <br />Is what I think while tears pour. <br />I hate you like I hate my life; <br />But love is what cuts like a knife. <br /> <br />Love is death and death is you; <br />Its pain stains like a black tattoo. <br />Those memories come back again <br />And bind me in the ropes of pain. <br /> <br />Crimson blood streams down my head <br />Like a long, silk ribbon, tied by a thread, <br />To a platinum bullet, a hole in my skull… <br /> <br />...Now just a memory that’s faded and dull.<br /><br />Lizzie Resendiz<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/crimson-blood-and-poison-tears-3/
