Blood, Sweat and Tears

The days that we missed, looking up at the stars. Now the stars look down at us and laugh. I'm sorry I failed you, but I tried my best...

It has been a while since we've drifted apart

you say it's alright,

 but I know it's really not.

there was a time when you used to hold my hand

and guide me through the broken paths

but now the clock ticks as you

 crumble down the drawing room door.

 

I'm sorry I couldn't hold you up,

when you were down

I'm sorry I couldn't pay your massive debt.

 

Even if I soaked my hair in blood and tears,

and break every existing bone

that you gifted me long ago,

would that pay the loan?

 

I know I've failed you

I can see it in the gentle whimpers

the damp facade of midnight limping your aged figure.

I can feel your whispers in the dark

talking to the ghost of the child

that you once moulded with your very hands

 

But I've failed you

the cage has broken and the pigeon

she set flight setting her wings

to touch the gentle caress of the clouds.

 

But I've tried enough

I've made sacrifices to fix the damp polaroid of me and you

but yet it calls out to me, as if I never tried.

how, oh how would I tell you that I could give up my whole life

Leave alone just blood,

sweat and tears to keep you happy.

 

 

Starkling swings, crimson lights,

Broken footpaths, your hand in mine.

I hold on to your fingers with all my might

Leaning onto your form to seek your light

I know you expected the world from me

And I tried, and yet failed you.

but don't keep your warmth away from me

anymore, for I can't live without you.
