Behind Tears

what do you find behind tears?
a lost, searching soul?
a wandering confused spirit?
a hopeful, deliriant persona?

when it all boils down,
you find blood,
and hate,
and shame

parched lips
thirsty for change
praying to a God
you don't even believe in

when desperation sets course
we'll do anything to stop it.

We bleed.
We lie.
We steal.
We bleed again.

Empty, sick words
spewing out of cocky mouths
offering words that make
twisted wisdom

what do you find behind tears?
nothing.
