Secret Cries

My secret cries are my pains I hide, hidden from the world to see. Hidden so intense my soul became debility of weakness. My heart hinders to collapse and deflates. Completely of decay, secretly lessen for the amounts of importance. Shedding everyday by natural process, my cries are easier to hide. Hidden behind my diluted mask of faulty smiles, I portray when you are around. As I wear with grace, deceiving you with an illusion of happiness. I die a little more inside. A cast away of pain, a cavity is what I became. Over dosing the quantity heartbreak, so overwhelmed my heartaches. Now begin causing the feeling of great sorrow, never wanting to see tomorrows. My secret cries of agony, a thought to die is where my truth lies. Memories are influencing misery, emotionally and physically. What hides behind my smile is vulnerability. My cries vocalize, overflowing with tears burns my insides. My heart is a furnace that burns for cremating my flesh of lies. Keeps me feeling, as thou I am no longer alive. Always walking through the crowd with my head up high, fore these feelings no one will ever find. My secret cries therefore shall die when I die. Then there will be no longer any secret cries to hide. Nevertheless, until the day I leave this earth, my cries shall stay buried alive.

He doesn't deserve you!! The B*stard to cause this much pain. I wanted to make this comment to the level intensity I felt in your poem. You deserve to be loved with the same intensity as this pain. Men need to step up and realize how wonderful it is to have a good woman.

WOW,You are a rarity of sublime and tender hues,fresh as the morning dew and if I could have a chance to wipe your tears,I shall do so with my t-shirt, then wring it into a bottle, with all your lugubrious tears, hurt and fears. Thereafter drawing you near to my heavenly care....Come here and snuggle with papa bear..

They tell you to share your worries with others because a trouble shared is a trouble halved. Women find this easier to do than men they tell us. If you tell people of your problems, you are surprised to find you are not the only one to have it - most people seem to have the same troubles in life and can help each other out of them.

I write to share everyone feelings not just my own. Sometimes its easier to say if someone say it first.
