Kurt Ravidas Poet Rhyme

Heartbroken I Stand Here So Strong

Once, when you were about to die,
you said: “No tears! The men don’t cry
if things heartbrokenly went wrong”.
Heartbroken I stand here so strong.

Oh, I did not let a tear fall
when the uncaring death took all
that I held dearest all along.
Heartbroken I stand here so strong.

No one was crying when I died.
Please, sweep me out, the blissful tide
of void I waited for so long!
Heartbroken I stand here so strong.

No tears! Instead of nothingness, 
nothing has changed: a noise, a mess
before locked gates stormed by a throng. 
Heartbroken I stand here so strong.
