Don't cry

Our hearts cry out to us. But do we ever reply?

Stop crying my dearest

Stop crying, my heart

It's not the end

But a fresh new start

 

Stop crying now

Don't feel so bad

You know it kills me

When you feel sad

 

Don't cry for a friend

Don't cry for them

Do the falling leaves

Ever cry for the stem?

 

Don't cry for true love

Don't cry for him

It's mere attraction

True love comes from within

 

Don't cry for a family

Or for parents that fight

Don't cry when you remember

Me crying in those sleepless nights

 

Don't cry for me

Someone so sick

Someone so rude

So ignorant, so selfish

 

Please don't cry

In these moments which are my last

But rather pray for my soul

As it vanishes into the past

This reminds me of how I feel sometimes. Like when I'm feeling really depressed about some typical teenage thing, and i ask myself why this certain event is affecting me so much. It's frustrating to think about, and overall confusing sometimes when we try to figure out why certain things make us feel the way we do.
Great write. The meaning was clear and to the point in my opinion.
I love the personification of the heart. It goes so well with the mood.

Siya, Gosh, what can I say. This is so good.

Your writing is so powerful but again it comes from your heart so that is what makes it soooo wonderful.

"True love comes from within" so true right.

wonderful.

Oh I love this! A fantastic write!!!

Great flow (You gots some flow sister lol)...I am a nutter....anyway my fav lines are:
"Don't cry for them

Do the falling leaves

Ever cry for the stem?"

Such simple imagery, but so powerful because of its' neglect in being used
:D Nice!!!

This was a beautiful poem. It flowed nicely, and had a good plot. (Crying can be a plot :p) You rhymed well. I still, to this day, fail to be able to rhyme things. ^-^; it always ends up being cat and rat xD
the cat
chased the rat
i think i'm on to something here...
Wonderful poem, Siya!

You seem to have a definite rhym throughout your poem except in the next to last stanza. Also, in the fifth stanza you say "Me crying in those sleepless nights" I would take out the "those" it makes the flow a little better. Read it out loud, see what you think.

Nice job overall.
