I CRY BECAUSE...

Between the illusive here and now

Between the spaces

My heart races

Around and around

Trying NOT to conquer itself!

…And when the distance gets you

Defying
Crying

Sighing

Lying

Whying…

How I wish you could start flying!

And I wouldn’t have to fall to my knees
@ A thought that seems unsound

Taking me around and around

Like a merry-go-round

While you try to find and be found…

This life is a darkly lit pit

And with it

We just have to sit in the shit,

And I think how sad

That many of us don't feed our life

We just live in such a self-imposed revolving strife

And I wonder,

Who

What

And why

You live such a lie

I cry because…

I am drowned in your sorrow
For I know

It’s not about poor you or me,

But rather poor us.

What affects one, affects us all.
We are in this together whether we want to be or not.

I feel

The woes

The angst

The anger

And the hurt that comes with being you!

Be it your self-esteem,

Be it you are a top or bottom,

Be it the feelings of loneliness that overwhelms you

Be it you seeking pleasure and desire outside of yourself.

I don’t have to be you

So I cry because…
