I cried when violet blue life
Was torn from my insides.
I cried as the clouds formed
To carry me away in a misty shroud.
I cried because I am alone
With only the noises to make me feel at home.
I cried because the days are endless grey
With the colour bleached out in every way.
I cried as the blood rained into my eyes
Pouring from emptied, very young lives.
I cried as surges of power smoked
The bodies; lifting them like dolls.
I cried in the stillness that comes in fast
When everyone says goodbye at last
I cried because the pain is too great to bear
And no one is smiling waiting for me here.
I cried to exorcise the suffering
Trying to find the happiness that lies within.
I cried for the wonderful colours of yellow and gold
Watching myself as I grow old.
