A Swallowed Cry

A Swallowed Cry The dawn is smothered in haze as I watch the sun wrap with wings of gold I swallow a swallowed cry. As I watch his soul melt within the clouds my memory lingers of our two intertwining hearts sharing silk kisses I swallow A swallowed cry. Nature is laughing with sweet serenades as I listen with the anchor of my soul. My heart is tangled inside, Still waters run deep, As broken promises lies my paradise my friendship is for keeps, yet you should Know I swallow a swallowed cry.
