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
