Crying out loud

cry a tear

cry a bucket

cry a river

cry a lake

what one should i cry

if someone i love so much

hates me?

i'd cry all tears, buckets, rivers, and lakes

until this vast planet we call earth is flooded.

and my ark will be thy soul

the one that is saved  

the one that was cast out from all else

the one excluded

the one forgotten

the one hated

  everyone will be gone except for my soul mate with whom we will start things over  

with a new  heaven

and earth

so that when we die

our two souls can unite as one

the world will have no hate

nor crime

the new earth will be of eternal bliss  

the tree bearing the forbidden fruit

will be burned  

then all will be right

and i will never cry again.

Awesome poem. I've read some of your others and they were good too...I'm not gonna critique them all, but they're all good. This one stood out to me though...great work! Keep writing. Don't let the shitty parts of life get ya down. There's always good somewhere... ~Joanna
