Analysis of Tears of blood



No one knows
how painful was
the betrayal caused
by those hidden lies.

Every touch of love
you had put on it
who embalmed me
from head to feet.

How can I heal this?
what did I do?
all I deserve was
be unmercilessly, punished!!

What shall I do now?
I gave all I had to you
the price, being stabbed
love wasn´t good enough.

The heart is bleeding
running down my cheeks
struggling the pain caused
by those filthy, unwanted lies.

There´s no medicine or cure
who can avoid the nightmare
I had lived without knowing
about this cruel misbehaving.

I´m crying, still am, tell me
what should I do now?
meanwhile, think about it
if you love me or not.

If its yes, I´m here, if not, farewell.

José Luis López
