Tears I can't cry
Feelings that won't die
The only thing I know
Is that I know nothing.

Tears I can't cry
I don't know why
You can't see how I hurt
and how I'm dying inside.

Tears I can't cry
A heart with wings can't fly
It soars like an eagle
But drops like a stone.

Tears I can't cry
All I can do is sigh
Walls come crashing down
And I lay in the rubble.

One thing more
Before you leave me to die
Just one thing
Teach me how to cry.

*TiMMYBoY*
Yeah, that's me. The Weird One.

This is great. The imagery coupled with the repetition really helped to keep the subject matter at the heart of the poem. You didn't seem to drift too much here.

This poem made me sad! But it was still written incredibly well. Learning to cry, ah, what a subject. Awesome job!

This was very well written. I thought the ending was extremely good.

This is really good... very nice emotions.
I love the last line, but I think the title gives it away too much.  Maybe a change should occur, but hey...
Oh and I also think that "walls crashing down" is a cliche...

This is really very expressive. I like the way you started each poem with the same line too. Great repetition. Thanks for the amazing read and keep sharing
