Crying

"Crying"

Crying
As if crying would melt me
Away

Weeping
Like it might melt the pain
Off me

Pouring down
As if to wash away the loneliness
Of night

Shedding tears
As if a cloud was in my restless mind
Of dreams

Shedding fears
Of hopelessness and distraught
Complete

Pouring down
Around me are the sky's tears
I smile

No longer weeping
Because I know life ain't all bad
Trust me

No longer
Lacking of faith, lost
Fulfilled

No longer
Have I forgotten the past-
And the future

I remember
My dreams, my heart, my passion
Living

I believe
In myself, the world, and in living
Again

I fade
From consciousness- and am lost
Once more

I learned
That to find yourself, you must be lost
In turn

I know
To cherish, to remember, to forget
To love
