Don't Cry For Me

a poem by thenorm

 

as the sunlight

Fades

from my face,

the echoes of yesterday

linger on

where my Words

Time and Again,

tumbled down on

Hollow Ears.

And you say,

'i never asked'

but Did You

Ever Listen?

No, don't cry for me.

Not your River of Tears.

and i,

lost in the aftermath

of your kind of 'love,'

once begged of you

but my Words

better said

to an Indifferent Stranger.

and Once,

Twice, i Cried

i Did Try.

Where Were You

When i,

Surrounded by Shadows,

Needed

a Friend?

No.

Don't You Dare.

Don't You

Cry

For Me.
