I cried tonight

By duderag

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

I cried tonight I’m not sure why No attempt to wipe them away No attempt to hide them For who is to see, no one No one but me I have given to work, I have given to life, I have given to love I’m sure tomorrow I can give some more But tonight, tonight I am empty Nothing to give, nothing to live, empty I cried tonight Head in hands Left with dry and salted cheeks I ponder the points Why am I here? I am not selfish but isn’t it something to do with me Change? If only I would, if only I could Though tomorrow I will again give But I will remember I cried tonight 03/11/00 The end of a week that I have worked, lived and loved too hard Written November 3rd, 2000 © on Jan 19 2002 02:41 PM PST   0 • 1
