Pain and Tears

Whisper to me, even a lie,
That I am worth a single breath,
Look deep into these weary eyes
And tell me not to look for death.
I'd hold you close if just to know
A moment's peace inside my heart
Even if my macabre soul
Says that you'll tear me all apart.
I cannot live this ugly life
Knowing that I'll never find peace.
I have been stabbed by fate's cruel knife,
Giving no hope that I'll release
These tears that I have kept at bay
From years of pain kept locked away.
