Melanie C. Campos ~ MahTame

CLEANSE THE TOXIC TEARS

Come calm the salty tide
Waving sobs within a core
Not sure when it’ll subside
Can’t take much anymore

Sea of pernicious teardrops
Drown a whirlpool of emotion
A barricaded feeling flops
Amidst twirling of all motion

Come hither and thither, to
Capture the falling fountain
Cascades of melancholy dew
That’s uncontrollably begun

Years of sorrow and of pain
Built up valiance ‘n’ fortitude
Time to release the tearful rain
Brace her against all anxietude

Beware of the poisonous flow
It’s been accruing o’er the years
An expelling surge it will go
To cleanse away the toxic tears
