I
by Sally Golden

Tears flood out of my eyes
I go red and angry
I shout; I scream
But no one hears me
I know it's useless
But I scream again
I feel faint
The tears I shed
Like scattering the evil
I feel cold and empty
I feel alone
I am alone

My tears are never-ending
My tears feel like blood
As I think of it all
I cut deeper and deeper
More tears are shed
I wait for someone
To comfort
But no one comes
My tears seem to take the pain away
But my thoughts merely
Replace the pain

The pain I feel
Is stronger than iron
Stronger than bone
The pain just crushes me
I sit in the corner
Crushed by the intense pain
I can only imagine happiness
Thought with each tear
The memories slip away
Further and further
My tears begin to dry
My wound is but left
