Recycled Tears

Engraved in my mind is a tale,

A tragic betrayal

Of a life torn away

Decay the insanity of the heavens above

And portray my pain

With a dream of love

And a longing for an eternal flame

You captured my heart

And now there’s no peace;

You touched my soul

And there it will be

Forever. You are

Among the night of stars

Relaying a sign

Of your too-early departure

The water is your burial

Raindrops are your tears

They touch my skin

And fall again
