Tonight, I Wanna Cry.

by Sarah Ann   Apr 25, 2007


Tonight I wanna cry,
And let these teardrops burn my sheets
I've always been weak. I try
Not to live life in a lie,
But pain is always welcome and it greets
My heart.
So eagerly, embracing
All the happiness I'm facing
And then the war begins.

Inner struggles kill me
So passionately and slowly,
Almost in an ecstasy, I have come to enjoy
The way the pain tries to destroy
Me.
These teardrops frame a river,
The longest I've known for years
Flowing freely with my tears
As the war begins.

Tonight I wanna cry,
Just for the sake of knowing I can
Break down right where I stand
I will fall into darkness
...so?
It's how things will always go,
With this destruction eating away
All my purity. Each day,
I will pray not for release
But for the war to slowly cease.

And so my tears unite
Become an ocean full of regret
Mistakes I won't regret
Lies said, hearts bled,
Wrong instead
Flowing down a riverbank of solitude
Tonight I wanna cry,
With nothing to prove.

    Very well done. I have a suggestion - The rhymes are there, but you don't need to lay it out for us so clearly. The way you have it now breaks up the lines - and the thought. For instance, you could write the first verse like this, and still maintain sense and rhyme - and it sounds more conversational:

    Tonight I wanna cry
    And let these teardrops burn my sheets
    I've always been weak -
    I try not to live life in a lie
    But pain is always welcome
    And it greets my heart so eagerly
    Embracing all the happiness I'm facing
    And then the war begins
