Chemical Tears

I still taste your bitter tears
Spilled from your cheek to mine
Like a late chemical drip,
Choking on a truth
Too much to swallow.

My demons wail as I pull upward
Out from the pit
With the last meager shred of strength
Left in my limbs
With the smothered screams
Of a secret that is killing me
And I dare not ask to be saved,
For fear of the only shining light
In my world of darkness
Be taken away.

Love me in my darkest hour
I beg of you
I am still fighting
