I cry. But not over loneliness.
It is no longer over the darkness, the deep recess scratched into my soul
After such events, that fucked up mess, to let that get to me, I'd be a fool
This loneliness is a tool, a weapon to help me in a seemingly eternal duel
But I thoroughly digress. That is a something to confess for another test.

I cry because I've found that love.  I am no longer alone.
I got that shove that I need to feel alive.
But that was a helluva dive, I shoulda looked.
I was hooked on a bait that was a lie and I loved someone.
I loved someone so much that an arm wasn't enough,
My entire soul, I poured into this and I found myself handcuffed to this love.
I didn't care, I placed my heart and I had my armor.
I'd do anything for my amor.  But it was unrequited, I was slighted.
It left me begging for more, but that truth, all I had to do was fight it.
It was sad to watch, and I took all that I could endure:
Karma was a bitch, and behind that closed door, I tried to bite it.
Everything I represent turned on me just for spite.
I almost lost the fight, but bitch, it takes much more than one bad night,
To bring me down to the ground and call it quits.
And now I hope it drives to you manic fits to know that love survived
And that blind dive proved to be bitter-sweet: part of me died,
But another part came to his feet and there will be no repeat.
When it all burns down, there will be no secret I will keep.      
I cry because I've sprouted my wings and I can fly,
While you're stuck in a cage, gagged and tied.
So, here's a bit of a history behind my poetry.

I suck with structured poetry. Rhyme pattern and meter and all that...I have to force myself to write like that. I grew up in a group that loved rap. Because of that, my own poetic style reflects that. I don't like getting artistic and wordy with my poems. I like free verse and I like being straight forward. Even when I come up with little poem through out the day, they sound like mini-raps, haha.

This is the first poem that I've written since the night I actually allude to in this. I hope to never see that poem again.

I never intended this poem to be angry, but that's what happened. Fancy.

Anyway, I guess that's all I have to explain. And this will be my first submission to :iconthewritersmeow: I'd like to see some comments and critiques about this pleaaaze....Even from my regular followers.

Oh, and this poem's theme, "I cry", alludes to this drawing I did a few years ago: [link]

And the picture's theme, "I cry", alludes to a poem by Tupac.
