Let Me Weep



Let me weep
Let me weep that I may be satisfied
That I may flush out this pain deep within
Deep within my heart
This pain that causes me to…ohhhh!
This pain!
Birthed from betrayal, loss and grief
Let me weep!
Let me weep and rid myself of this filth
I don’t wish to choke
I just want to purge myself of this yoke
It’s heavy and it’s…it’s heavy!
It’s been five days now
And it’s been weighing me down
I feel twenty pounds heavier
Let me weep!
Let me get rid of this yoke!
It’s heavy!
Let the dam break
Let the tears pour
Oh, let them pour!
My heart weeps
My eyes leak
Let me weep until I can weep no more
Let me weep!

SLEPT



She tore the envelope open
And she read
Suddenly the clock stopped
Everything around her felt nonexistent
She couldnt think
All she could see was his face
Her hands went numb
As the paper fell to the ground
Memories played
Like a movie being fast-forwarded
She saw pictures of his face move quickly in her head
Her lips moved
But they made no sound
She tried to say his name
But the pain in her throat wouldnt let her
Suddenly the morning turned to evening
The joy turned to sorrow
The smile turned to tears
Her heart broke
No!!!!!!!!!
She screamed but no sound was heard
Her face felt hot
But her fingers were cold
HOW!!!!!!
She wept!
Finally, she found her voice
She croaked his name
But no one replied
He wasnt there with her
But she knew that he would never call her, Nne m
Mama
Mother
Mum
Her son had gone to bed

To never wake up again
