Because of you

Rain, rain, go away,
Because of you the pain will stay.
Slit my throat, cut my heart,
Leave me here, tear it apart.

Poison tears stream down my face,
My heart beats at a steady pace,
As I try to stand again:
Alone, in the rain.

“I don’t need you anymore”,
Is what I think while tears pour.
I hate you like I hate my life:
But love is what cuts like a knife.

Love is death and death is you,
It’s pain stains like a black tattoo.
Those memories come back again,
And bind me in the ropes of pain.

Crimson blood streams down my head,
Like a long, silk ribbon, tied by a thread
To a platinum bullet, a hole in my skull…
…Now just a memory that’s faded and dull…
