Tonight I'll cry, for the last time.
Tears will pour, like a torrential rain.
I'll cry till my tears, stop streaming,
and my heart, erupts from the pain.

I'll cry for the fruit that's forbidden.
Cries that will echo, for all time.
For my wishing to be with the one,
that I know in my heart won't be mine.

I'll give in, to the agony that adorns me,
and to the misery, that consumes my soul.
But after tonight, I'll no longer cry,
I will be playing, a different role.

My tears will be for my lover, my life,
and for things, that I wanted to be.
But most of all, for the belief that I had,
that in time, he could learn to love me.

My tears will be, behind me tomorrow.
I won't speak, of my love again.
Maybe, in the arms of another,
I can bring, my heartaches to an end.

I'll cry for the mistakes that I've made.
I'll cry for the shame of me.
But all of my tears can never erase,
my love for a man, that's not free.

So I'll cry, and cry, and cry, and cry,
for how ever, long it may take.
Then I'll dry my eyes, Lock up my heart,
forever, for my own sake!

I can feel your anguish in this. Excellent writing.

It matters not how strait the gate;
How charged with punishments the scroll;
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.

This poem is pretty deep.

I'm singing a Crystal Gail song for encouragement..
I'll get over you,
I'll be through, and when I do,
I'll be good as new,
When I get over you..
The words may not be exactly right, but you get the drift, Huh?? ;-)

Thanks all for your replys!!

Hey Kitty, I see you're somewhat new, but I just wanted to say hey welcome...It's funny, I signed on to post something I just wrote, and I saw your title....mine is called " Cry & cry & cry "...written to my dad...I just thought that was kind of cool, since yours was still on the first page...guess we're having the same kind of day, huh? Glad to be able to see your poem and say HI !! Look forward to more of your work! You wanna share Kleenex? I'm almost out - - (sigh)

Firstly I'd like to say welcome too!!
A sad sad poem my friend. But don't lock up your heart forever, you may miss Mr.Right.

kitty...I'm going through the same pain right now. Believe it or not tears are rolling down my face right now. I'm supposed to see him today for the last time. What am I to do?? The pain does go away though kitty. I wrote two poems regarding this. someone replied to me and told me that there is someone out there who is perfect for the other. Hang in there, keep your head high and remember that you're worth much more. Now...if only I could take my own advice I wouldn't be hurting so much.

Kitty dear, I have been there before and can really feel your pain...it is very well expressed. Now here's a Kleenex for you...
