I Cried

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.
