Tears

I'm drowning in a vat of tears
Collected over many years
Of heartaches and mourning
For lost loves and sadness dawning

My head is swimming with memories faded
A heart scarred and slightly jaded
The will to love has ebbed away
No longer eager to come out and play

Will someone come and rescue me
Opening my eyes so that I can see
That there is hope in this darkened place
And light will one day touch my face

Am I cursed to walk without love in my life
Cupid's arrow replaced with a jagged knife
This mortal coil which upon I tread
Has fused my soul and left it for dead

Are you the one to kick-start my heart
Reboot my software and click start
To fill my head with dreams of a future
Leading the way as my love tutor

These are the questions I ask myself
As I fear a life left on the shelf
Watching others live theirs to the full
As mine drags along all meaningless and dull

Well this is it I'm taking the plunge
I'm gonna suck up your love like a hungry sponge
Throw caution to the wind one more time
And prove that to love me isn't a crime

The tears I cry now are not of sorrow
But happiness looking forward to tomorrow
And a life full of love, hope and joy
That memories of the past can't destroy
