A Place to Cry

I needed to cry

Tears saved up for awhile

I go to a funeral

To the common privacy of strangers

A place safe in its design

                                                                            Free to weep at will

Flames I feel are roaring

I start tears flowing

Let emotions up to well

A little death in each breath

I let my mind wander

No one can breathe for me

The breath that I need

Back to my wounded sky I go

To keep being alone

Someone there might listen

To my silence

I am angry to be mortal

The road I followed came to an end

It came to an end without me

I died before my death

Moments repeat my dying
