Love Poem: Crying

Crying

I keep crying 
And now I can't breathe 
I close my eyes 

And your all that I see 
What are you doing to me? 
My lungs burn with my breath 

My heart throbs with my plight 
But I just can't seem 
To make it all right. 

I feel trapped in this cage 
Of steel and stone 
Hundreds of people 

And I'm all alone 
Years of pain and hatred 
That I've never shone 

None of this helps me 
And what have you done? 
This silence 

Is deafening 
Nothing will ever seem 
Right in my world 

Why didn't you just leave me there? 
In my dark lonely lair 
You took all that time 

And I thought for once 
Someone would climb 
Up that desolate mountain of sorrow 

And make me forget 
About all but tomorrow 
I put a little faith 

And tried so hard 
But you were never here to stay 
Cause I might have loved you 

But you never felt that way 
Why couldn't you leave me on my own? 
You took all my problems 

And made them your own 
But when it got too much to handle 
And my faith in you started to dwindle 

You shoved it all back 
And broke me again 
A million pieces 

Will never be whole again. 
Why couldn't you just not care? 
Why didn't you just leave me there? 

I was alone 
I was happy alone 
I was lonely, its true 


But I didn't need you. 
And you broke me through 
When I was of no use to you 

You left me alone again 
Crying 
In solitude 

When I really needed you 
So why? 
Why not bother at all? 

I wanted to be myself 
All alone 
Where no one would ever betray me 

To late for that 
Those walls I carefully built 
Crumbled to dust around you 

And now it's raining 
And the sky cries for me too. 
I keep lying 

Inside I am dying 
I keep crying 
Till I have no tears to shed
