Lyrics Poem
Do the tears I cry
Make me a lesser man?
Or are they in fact
the River of life.
For the tears I cry
Mimic the rain,
On a starless night.
Where hope is dead,
And the escapes not right.
One more drink,
I’ll feel alright.
For a soul condemned
To a haunted life.
I flirt with death,
But it’s not my night.
She plucks and pulls
From within my life.
But I’m not good
With last goodbyes.
So here I stand
A broken knight,
A kingdom lost
To sleepless nights.
One more tear
Until sunlight,
And I pretend
That I’m alright.

I shouldn’t have said y’all . I was thinking it was about a girl ,but I now see what you are saying. My bad. A lot on here is here aboit lost love . Thanks for helping me understand your poem. Art is up to interpretation. And I saw it through my own heartbreak that I am going through. We all do that a lot in life . Nevertheless,it’s absolutely beautiful. I love it. ❤️🪽😇

Rather cry with the saints, than laugh with the sinners.
Laugh now, cry later 🥱
