Best Losscry Poems


We Cry

We cry, 
For help, for attention, 
For an explanation we know we'll never get
For the loss of a dear one
Or even when we fall

We cry,
Our tears hit like bullets
Our eyes get red and puffy
Our noses get stuffed
But yet, we continue to cry

We cry, 
People apologize.... like we WANT to hear it
People dont always give a "crap" what we feel
But then there are those who care too much
Who try too hard to stop those tears we cry
Which in the end just make us cry even harder

We cry
We ask why
We cry
We mourn
We cry 
We die

Premium Member So Many Tears

So many tears I have cried today
So many tears I have cried
I cry for the souls I cannot see
I cry for those now that I can never meet
I cry for them. I cry for me.

I feel a great internal pain
Spreading across our land
People can feel it over the seas
What is wrong with our country
'Something' it appears to me.

My personal rains fall gently
It is so sad, so very sad to me
My tears come quietly and unbidden
My rains stream over me from within
Unstoppable they rush over me.

They fall from me
Running from things I cannot see
From evils I can only imagine
Hurts that I or others cannot heal
It is an inner empty helplessness that I feel.

Pains like these will never leave
They will never end or go away
This time cannot ever be turned back
Before the horrors of yesterday
This is a hurting that inside me will always be.
