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.

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
