Annie Lander Poet Blank verse

Cry Eternity

Cry Eternity
Cry eternity  
I was never good at composing a love poem 
But I knew what love is, the what love can do to us 
I searched for the honesty within your eyes, 
Before you could even fake a smile, 
How can I overlook the hurt of yesteryears, 
You effortlessly, tries to make me forget, 
I had cried so many nights, for the weaker (me) 
(I got you my little ticker, I got you) 
I held my heart in my hands, refusing to let it crumble 
To destroy my progress now, would be suicidal ideation 
Just for a piece of happiness, (a fumbling fool I will be) 
No more now, I can’t go back to crying 
In my sleep, no more, wet pillow for me 
Amen, Amen, Amen, Amen I can’t risk this kind of loving 
My ancestors are calling me, I felt the ghostly presence 
I felt their enforcement of wisdom and guidance 
 Amen, amen amen: show me, show me how, 
I will not risk it, they want me to smile, 
Yet their want me to be happy, at what cost 
Not my heart, Amen, Amen! Especially if not serious love 
I don’t want to lost my way right now, 
droop downward, not my eyes anymore; 
Yes, I will smile, yes, I will smile 
I need you I want you, but at what cost? 
for me i will hold you baby, within
until,
