Caustic Tears

by Lizzard/Aries-Cancer-Pisces - Not entered

I felt an inkling tingle
...Like a thought born of insanity
My feelings sink like disease
...Collide with a displaced seed
Seed within me of thoughts imagined
...Hoped unrealized
Helpless and falling
My instincts calling
For life and fate to collide

This caustic tear has wiped a stain
...On my face for hands of time to claim
And I'm lain
On an open bed
My heart ripped out
On wet sheets of red
This unfounded fear has left me here
...Deserted
With anguished rage
...For a caustic tear

Everyone says they give to me
...But, what they take is much more to see
For, aside the rage
In this rusted cage
...My buttered feelings have melted,
Marked on this empty page...

Littered with a spilling beer
The misery I've brought to here
...And fallen out in torrents
Are my caustic tears

Reason for writing:

    Written from abstract feelings of lonliness, this poem was mentally dictated to me before I even realized what I really meant by writing it...it's one of those poems you have to read a few times to fully absorb the subconscious images.
