Let me cry tonight

 

 

Let me cry tonight
I am a mere shadow
that coils your soul
my face is forgotten
which was etched in many hearts

Let me cry tonight
my voice doesn’t echo
which sang poetry
my songs fed barren hearts
as others fed mine

Let me cry tonight
no more colours flash in my eyes
which were once deep with them
like smoke I drift aimlessly
between bleak lives

Let me cry tonight
I am a bewildered spirit
eclipsed by my anonymity
threatening to efface my identity
of being existent

Let me cry tonight

    I so so relate to this :

    Let me cry tonight
    my voice doesn’t echo
    which sang poetry
    my songs fed barren hearts
    as others fed mine

    wonderfully said ..

    I was completely intrigued by the photo/image. It goes with your words so well. People don’t see her… they leave her alone… let her cry.
