Empty of tears, no more can I cry,
Nothing left to feel, i'm living a lie.
I say it doesn't hurt, that I can't feel the pain,
Truth is I feel it so much that it's always the same.
Never better and never worse, so I take this fall,
I'm tired of it all, tired of trying to crawl.
Out of this darkness, out of my hole,
Always being filled with dirt, So I can never go.
Always left hopeless, no way to escape,
A burdened past and memories left to hate.
A heart that beats with only rage,
Soul's abused and beaten within this cage.
Memories of love that was lost,
Rape, broken dreams, and mistrust.
This my daily dose of this lovely life,
I tried to end it all, I have reached for that knife.
But death was never a way for me, I couldn't just go,
Too much pain left to feel before I will know.
My purpose, why this heart beats, why do i breathe?
What the fuck do you think is instore for me?
These empty tears are all I have left,
So let me cry on forever, do you catch my drift?
Empty tears, broken heart, living with lies,
Raped and abused, and I still cannot cry.
My misery and pain are all these fucking tears,
That I just can't let go, I can't cry these empty tears.

Such a sad yet beautiful poem. I started to cry about half-way through. I love it when a poem makes me feel the emotion the writer has/ is feeling when s/he writes it.
I don't have a favorite part because I like the whole poem. Thank you for entering my contest, Good luck!
