Cry louder so they値l hear you,
sinking, shrieking glass,
cry harder now like diamonds
strangely burning into ash.
I知 crying for some numbness
to heal the shield of pain
cry harder for some someness
so burning into plain.
Cry harder for your life,
so beautiful in contrast.
Cry harder harder harder now
for the beauty of your past.
Cry deeper so he値l hug me,
wetter so he値l see
through my blurry eyes there痴 hazel
and he値l comfort me.
Cry silently for strength, now.
Cry deep into the night.
Cry to let your self be true-
it will be alright.

exquiste rhymming
such sadness but tinged with hope in the end- the rites of passage from crying for him to crying for yourself to be free.... I love this, and very apt actually for me.
such great imagery and feeling you have conjured up!
well done
RareFlower
good luck
