[ let me cry ]

[ 11.04 PM ]

a child cries
while i cry,
sounds so lovely
to me.
some hidden tears
unleash your fears,
surrender to me.
i’m weakend by you
and suffering,
and your voice
that was once
soothing
is now much like
that of a man
who cannot seem
to shed his pride.
please take this cry
turn my tears into a lullaby
and kiss my burning wounds.
please take this cry
turn my tears into a lullaby.
a child cries
while you sigh,
sounds unsettling
to me.
your heart’s afraid
afraid to take
a chance, a risk, a break.
i’m damaged by you
and i don’t understand
how your eyes
that were once reassuring
are now much like that
of a man who cannot
give up his pride.
don’t make me cry
just mend what aches
fill my heart with a lullaby.
please let me cry
just let me cry
please take away our pain.
please, let’s just cry
words cannot hide
the sound of empty
spilling out of our lips.
please let me cry,
let me cry
good-bye.
