Notes About The Poem

Image result for fantasy girl in red

No Tears Left

I have no tears left to weep, my dears
my heart has turned to stone
life is dreary and I am weary, weary, weary
all my grief and fears I have thrown
I am alone on this earthly place, my dears
tormented by stormy cold reality
      oh, grief, I said be gone 
I surrender to my destiny
folding, folding my wings, wings, wings
and with my final gasp "beauty" I wish to see
perhaps a falling red leaf
     just like me falling in the deep blackness
a red leaf twirling into eternity
