Tears Of Blood
She’s alone, none of her friends know it.
She cries tears of blood when she’s sad.
She hides her feelings, sometimes too well.
And she keeps it in when she’s mad.
No one else knows what she’s been through.
They can’t see the tears of blood she cries.
She can only confide in one trusted soul.
He can’t help her, but she knows he tries.
He’s got his own problems to worry about.
And his own tears of blood land on his bed.
She can’t help him now when he cries.
His only wish is wanting to be dead.
Their eyes always lock from across the room.
They know they’re lucky to have each other.
Both saved from unfortunate, tragic ends,
A pair like that, there will never be another.
