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
