As in "To cry out in protest"

Hold back the pain,
Away with your noose,
You cannot die,
You silly goose,
Just because,
It isn't fair,
You live a lie,
With flamboyant flair,
You lose your love,
Yet shed no tears,
For by and bie,
It's love you fear,
Come the end,
And come what may,
To hell you fly,
On such a day,
So fine it is,
The many futures,
For which you vie,
Through the sutures,
possibilities fall,
The things you want,
For which you cry,
And plead or vaunt,
Will then run dry.

Author notes

I think this was the rythm used in Dr. Seuss' one fish, two fish; red fish, blue fish...

    I love the beat you have embedded throughout this poem, although it seems a little bit confusing to me... but that's possible due to the fact that English isn't my maternal language, and that I'm not that good in reading between the lines

    Allow me to welcome you on the sites of Allpoetry I'm aware of the fact that this is quite a big labyrinth when you're just signed in, however, I have no doubts you already found your way through it... If you happen to have any questions though, or if you need help with something, then don't hesitate to contact me, or any other greeter via IM, or just click the help-button, then 'ask a question'. we'll gladly answer you, or help you as soon as we can

    I hope you'll enjoy your stay on here

    Falling through sutures? it... What? Ok.... A metaphor that doesn't make sense... that's like using "climbing up kitties" as a metaphor... I might like it or I might just think you're crazy. Either way, it's all good. I did like the spelling by to match lie though... ...falling though sutures...
