You'Re Weeping Me Insane

Stop this bitter weeping Yeah I’m talking to you Though you may not be crying aloud Your expression gives you away Stop this careless weeping Yeah I’m embarrassing you Though you may not think we know It’s been in front of us from the beginning Stop this despairing weeping Yeah I feel your pain Though you may feel like you’re the only one Countless more will empathize Telling you to stop Is like telling the persistent priest to stop preaching Telling you to stop Is like telling the earth to stop spinning Telling you to stop Is like telling the weeping willow to stop weeping Telling you to stop Is like telling the fire to stop burning I know your crying But that won’t stop the weeping I know I’m embarrassing you But that won’t stop the weeping I feel your pain But that won’t stop the weeping I’m going insane! Will you cease the weeping?

Welcome to Poetry Soup! What a terrific start! And you have captured the one feeling that most of us want to shut down immediately - the weeping feeling! Well done, Laura.
