My arms of love

I wait here in the rain for you,

do you know my name anymore?

I seek to please your desires,

am I anything more to your heart?

I bleed to write your name on my eyes,

is there anything more I can do?

To show you that my love is your life,

if only you could still see my face.



Desperately seeking loneliness,

huddled in shadows reigning life.

Your heart breaks before me,

but not by my hand.

Now that I sit here in darkness,

you ignore my like I am the plague.

Time will come for you to remember,

question is, do you even care?



Blades of metal break my skin,

blood rushes out proving pain.

No tears left to cry I am empty,

yet still you smile and don’t care.

What have I done to receive this,

what is this reason for solitude?

I cry you heart bleeding roses,

to face my arms where love walked away.
