I'm still "away" studying, but again, having a break, and I have been writing a lot of poetry lately, so i thought I would post some of it.. *_^

Tears Are Not Enough

An ache,
Oh what an ache.
A hurt beyond pain,
Pain beyond physical,
A twisting of a knife,
In my soul.

An ache,
Oh what an ache,
A rip in my heart,
Tattoo on my mind,
A scream from outside,
Only, inside...

An ache,
Oh what an ache.
Dark becomes welcome,
A ragged breath, mine,
Desperate, my being,
No point in crying.

An ache,
Oh what an ache.
I can’t feel it;
I am numb.

My mind,
I beseech you,
Play not your tricks on me,
For tears are not enough.


-Lynne

Great poem Yu Lan.

In a way this is how I am feeling. It's like you are loosing control over the things you though never would change.

Once again, this is a beautiul poem, keep up the good stuff.

Wow. This is a great description of the pain of crushingly hopless depression. Very moving.

This is a beautiful work! I have felt like this a lot (who hasn't?), and you describe it well. Great job.
