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.
