Array ( [sid] => 32931 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => To Shed A Tear [time] => 2004-01-27 20:19:22 [hometext] => Crying doesn't always help to get over something. Sometimes you know you need to cry but not a tear is to be found. Thanks for your comments. [bodytext] => Maybe if you died,
I would be able to forgive you for leaving me.
I've never seen this situation so clear before.
I've never been so sober.
You weren't unique after all.
Just like the rest you left.
I'm not surprised anymore,
Still just down hearted.
I'm not alone,
I'm friends with my pain.
And I've got someone to count on,
- Me -
As my blood trickles down the drain.
And as the smoke clears in my garage.
I open my eyes.
I'm still alive.
My phone sits silent,
As I get more violent than I've ever become.
There was no tears there,
But God knows I needed them.
As the metre dropped,
There was no way I could have stopped that moment.
Angry blood had rushed to my head,
I have no excuses,
Only causes instead.
The tears still didn't come,
After I saw what I had done.
After that nothing had changed,
I was still the only one.
My face went into the crying position,
No tears came,
My voice quivered,
But no one was there to listen.
If you ever come back,
You'll find that I am not here,
Cause I finally shed a tear and carried on. [comments] => 6 [counter] => 193 [topic] => 48 [informant] => Letting_Go [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => EmotionalPoetry )

Thats beautiful. I can completely understand where your coming from. I myself have been there, and maybe still am. But very nice job.

this was very sad I don't know what to say except that i liked this. I wish I had more words of wisdom and strength but I am lacking at the moment.

I think this was an incredibly good and powerful write. It was very well written and I could fully relate. Nicely done.
