Mark Russell Poet Quatrain

I Can'T Cry Anymore

I always thought if I had more time,
I could figure it out and be just fine.
Everything disappears and I’m not sure,
One thing is certain I can’t cry anymore.

Tears of sorrow leave me full of doubt,
Voices join anger and turn into shouts.
I’m not certain how much I can endure,
One thing is certain I can’t cry anymore.

The sun comes up I escape the night,
Darkness parts gives way to daylight.
I pick up the pieces from off of the floor,
One thing is certain I can’t cry anymore.

I don’t know where to go I just do,
I get entangled in all I’ve been through.
I wash up on some distant shore,
One thing is certain I can’t cry anymore.

Some things come while others go,
What comes next I really don’t know.
Still I can’t wait to see what’s in store,
One thing is certain I can’t cry anymore.

Chuck Novotny February 26, 2012 at 11:52 AM The line "I don’t know where to go I just do," really speaks to me of the psychic numbness that envelops us from time to time. Very nice write - Chuck Mark Russell February 26, 2012 at 3:35 PM Thanks really seems more like reality to me. I don't know where to go I just take the steps and hope they bring me somewhere. Thanks for reading and have a great day......Mark

Mark Russell February 26, 2012 at 3:36 PM Thanks Wilma the hope overwhelms the sadness and feelings of being lost. I hope for loads of smiles too! Have a great day and thanks for reading......Mark
