AS COMMON AS A TEAR

Welcome to a world of unseen pain
A blow to the stomach with no source of position
Decades pass as centuries do
And every minute you’re sure there’s been hours pass

Cuts cut themselves
And blood flows as it will
I was nothing to you
But how the table has turned
Because my power brings forth deceptive respect

A goddess of the darkness
I eat away at you unnoticed
Dreams come in the form of nightmares
And demons as common as a tear

Your lips slaughtered and dismantled
You want to kiss me one last time before I walk away
But try as you may your lips won’t pucker for mine
At least until I’m gone

And I don’t look back
Not even to see the love in your eyes once more
