The Tears A Man Cries... (Song Lyrics)A Poem by Michael Fernandez
The tears a man cries…
Brings remembrance to its knees… The tears a man cries… Leaves corpses whispering… The tears a man cries… As pen and paper fuse together - I remember the pain spent trying to protect her, Down to every damn cent - Every damn letter - Should’ve known, I should’ve known better, as it tore at me, cut at me, Blood I’ve bled - Blood I’ll bleed, was it all worth the need? For her protection against herself - Against myself, Drove me insane; ripped the tether from my brain, Had me smoking crystals - holding pistols - and what for? What for? I asked that every day, the impact it’s made, Rushed me towards my own grave; for another w***e who couldn’t be saved? Doesn’t seem right, I should’ve fought, should’ve put up a fight, Now I’m fighting my own thoughts - My own mind, The pain it’s caused - Forced down another line, Save the date - Save the time, Eleven, Twenty-Nine, Eleven; Seconds from Hell, Hours from Heaven, The tears a man cries… The tears a man cries, Lost everything, but still stuck with lies, No longer a king, not in her eyes. The tears a man cries… Seven, Forty-Nine seconds; all beautiful and pearlescent, Divine Rites, given to man; Last light, few could easily understand, Pistol in hand - Six bullets fully loaded, But only one needed, yet, still can’t control it, I’m sick of this s**t - C**k back - Ready and done, BOOM! Click and thump - Cold bodies dumped, Corpses rock in the water, so many dead - Why bother? Forget the sign of the times - The wealth made through crime, Pace back - Over your own coffin - High off ganja, Still coughin’, Pray to God they finally attack, To give a reason for a fight, drink the blood of the night, White eyes, seven sins, Jealousy and lies, Corruption - Uneasy seduction - Ready to die, Fiending off psychedelic heroin - Nervous breakdown - The tears a man cries, Down to Earth, Yet, underneath the ground - Above the clouds…The tears a man cries…. The tears a man cries, Lost everything, but still stuck with lies, No longer a king, not in her eyes. The tears a man cries… © 2013 Michael Fernandez |
