WEEP

have you ever seen a body weep

really stood to watch the pain wreak it

seen it tremble

with sorrow

that is how my body weeps tonight

for you

for us

what we were

and will never be

what you gave away and what I could never see

was never mine



have you ever seen a body weep

as a soldier that must lay down her weapons does

after fighting the longest battle

to see no one fighting beside her

her body waving in the wind as so many leaves

dancing with pain

dissolving in melancholy

as she delivers her last breath



have you ever seen a body weep

when all it has lived for has been taken

and only loneliness remains

that is how my body weeps tonight

for you

for us

for me…
