My tears taste of darkness and desire,
Of happiness and sorrow,
Of long-forgotten memories and truths,
That had been buried in my brain,
Under layers of joy and sadness.
Will they taste salty to you?
Or will they be peppered with longing
And ecstasy?
Will you be the one to bring me out of
My cage of tears and pain?
You let me cry on your shoulder,
Just looking on and nurturing me.
You tell me everything will be alright,
And I believe you,
My savior from the darkness.
