The End of Tears...

Youth runs with
the will to beat the odds
and did you too think
it was a game ...
and that you had found
a way to win?

what now your surety
when it is over.
... did you think it was real for a while?

did you not know a kiss or two
that might have awoken the heart?

You run the old familiar
hideaways
a quick fix,
turning tricks,
to face the gore again
and forget
the meaning of the tears...

your 'ultimate' grasp fails
again
as you slip unknowing into the
unfolding masterpiece
... once more !

did you really need to forget in order to live
or was it illusion?
how far then will you go
how many unheeded promises
... to yourself ?

... will you not then come home with us?
will you not let us share
your pain ?
- for we have known it too
and now know
its end

... or will you stay
mingled with crowds
a while
longer
leave till later
that quiet part of you
that you
too
forgot to do ?
