The Day My Heroine Fell and Cried
The day my heroine fell and cried,
A few tears came to soften my seared vision,
My pains were amplified and many secrets reviewed,
Yet, people talk - a daily avalanche of vituperation.
She taught me how to be bold and strong,
Even before a hot up rush of hatred and loathing,
But was deeply broken and remained weak in death,
Because she accepted defeat,
Leaving me with a haunting and horrible sense of insecurity.
Like a rainbow in my cloud,
With a propitious sky, marbled with pearly white,
She still feels a light of unwonted pleasure in my eyes,
Because of my perception of tomorrow,
Knowing that it’s hard for me to deal with the harassing sorrow.
This might be
A secret sweeter than the sea or sky can whisper,
Or a shimmer of golden sun shaking through the trees,
But for sure not a stream of easy talk,
Because I don’t want to be like my heroine
On the day she fell and cried.
