Acidic Tears

Acidic tears released
seeping sadness
burning wasted skin
raw and open sores
oozing pain from within
the depths of my flesh
little pieces of my
battered and broken soul
falling in free form
from every opening
burning holes in my
tattered clothing
battle wounds
and scabby scars
worn like medals
or signs or perhaps
warnings to the world
that time could be
better spent
than on an ill-lived
soul, seeping acidic tears.

Heavy stuff with hidden meanings quite clever!!  Perhaps indeed it is a warning, the world should harken too  

I'll tell you this...... No eternal reward will forgive us now for wasting the dawn.....

SpitFire...it's just a matter of finding the right chemistry.  One day someone with alkaline love will come along to neutralize those acidic tears.  Enjoyed it....Hardrock

This was frightening - why must lovers be like that - no doubt - you have described the raw pain beautifully.

I howl a mournful song, that echos within my chambered heart, for all to read? nay for all to feel.
