SORROWS SUITE

Prelude
I just want to cry ...
to break down and let all of my emotions go
to be let free.
I've wanted to cry for so long
though my tears won't come.
And so I cry silently in my mind
since I am forbidden in body.

* * * *

Interlude
Freely now, the walls are broken
Freely now, the tide is let loose
It has been so long, though finally now
I can feel once more.
But was it worth the price?
This grave price to feel pain, to feel sorrow,
To feel regret?

* * * *

Finale
Quietly now, it comes
The shadow over the soul
Masking the wants, the desires,
the emotions, the dreams, of a silly girl.
Yet somehow, the pain is distant, unfelt
But it will come later, it always comes later.
Though now, now it must be pushed back
the tears, the sorrow, the pain,
back in the crevices of my soul
So that I can be happy, be free,
for others.
