"uncried" poems
I looked in the mirror today,
i don't do it often unless I'm putting on makeup,
But i actually looked,
My room was dim and the time hit 4am,
I had the bright idea of looking,
I wish i didnt,
My face wasn't my own,
You could see the pain,
The eye bags weighing heavy all the tears left uncried,
I wasn't myself anymore,
I was barely a corporeal form of myself,
The shadow of you haunting behind me,
Its the only time i see you now,
In the darkness of my room,
With no where to hide

Before the flight takes off
Before our ascent into the skies
Before I'm unplugged from the grid
Before I'm temporarily disconnected
I think about what I'll miss,
If the flight never landed.
I think about the goals unfulfilled
People unmet, sights unseen
Words unsaid, tears uncried
Emotions unshared, pain unfelt
Fights unhad, hands unheld
Stories untold, lives unlived
But most of all,
I think of you.
And feel
Hope.

Eyes ache with loads of uncried tears
As my chest caves with the weight of
A heart that can't live freely
I just want to live
I want to be alive
I want to be free in this life
To have one at all
Because I'm so stuck right now
Trapped behind my own mind
And I'm grateful that it's protected me
But I am safe now
I don't need such high security
I don't need to be on guard with everyone
It's ok to be afraid and to not trust
But it doesn't help if I can't open up
I feel so alone
Yet I maintain that same state
I have people that truly care and love me
But I don't let them see me
My mind doesn't want to be vulnerable
It thinks others will see it as a weakness
And the weakest are the easiest to break
I'm afraid to get hurt again
I can't handle becoming another target
Which is extremely ironic considering
I'm the one the aiming the gun
At the most genuine piece of my soul

'Going away' is always bit difficult, isn't it?
Be it from your mother or your face licking pet or your beloved...
'Going away' is always a heart wrenching pain.
It's a sub-conscious state where you both don't know
When will you again see each other's face and feel their pale skin and the intimacy written on it.
Thinking of being apart from that eternal bond isn't so casual as your surroundings think....
....... It is not at all easy , it is not what you always see or evaluate without knowing.
'Going away' is all about those undropped tears and silent bawling,
You know nothing will be like earlier as it used to be...
You will be somewhere and "they" somewhere else too....
..... Things will again fall in places with growing and emerging time.
It's a drastic change for everyone of you,
Who have faced "going away" moment.
'Going away' will make you much stronger and motivated to see D-R-E-A-M-S.
D-R-E-A-M-S which are for you and them,
D-R-E-A-M-S of being together someday again forever ... As you all used to be,
D-R-E-A-M-S which will let you to float through life.
'Going away' is not what you think apparently;
It is how you recreate yourself after that phrase.
So, don't be heart-broken darling,
If this 'going away' decision is mutual it will create magic someday and
You know I will be there in glowing tears with your magical retreat.
Because 'going away' from you can't ever make us apart.
We will D-R-E-A-M together, forever..... Again and again .
For those undropped tears and uncried fears: we will D-R-E-A-M on and "going away" will move on very soon.

Before I raise my voice
I will lower it to hear you
I will listen
to the undercurrent of your thoughts
your pain and the sound your tears make
when they fall
when they are left uncried
I will walk with you, trace our steps back
to that fork in the path where good things fall
through a pocket hole and burdens
hitch a piggy back ride
I hear you
I see you
let's take a walk
I will be brave with you
let us gently extricate
dreams lost from
underneath that heavy rock
Don't be afraid
if you get lost
I will raise my voice to find you
when you hear me
my voice will bring you back

I gots
my hair wrap on,
b'cuz
I
just finished
doing/sewing in
my own
weave.
Did my own nails
and feet
too.
I got too many
mouths to feed
Ain't got time to go
to a shop.
He's
staring at me
tonight.
I got on
my cut off sweats
and
my tank-top.
I watch him too
as
I walk to the kitchen....
I stop
&
focus on my task...
Bacon ,eggs, bread
and
homemade orange juice.
I look over again
and
I noticed the look
on his face,
as
I reach
for
2 eggs...
He stands up
&
walks over to me....
Looking at him
as
he approaches
sends shivers
down my spine,
I unwind- reminded
of this mornings event.
He wants to touch me
but
drops
his hand
and
the tears
that
start to role down
my face
leaves me feeling dazed.
Crazed!
I walk past him
and
smell
the pan burning.
Burning
away my
uncried
wales....
The pain
The hurt
The deeds been
done.
This morning
I felt new beginnings
while life swept away....
Unforgiving.
It's 8pm
time to go to bed,
sleep eludes me
as
I star blankly
up at this movie,
I allow.......
Him
to cook and finish
what
I started.
He's watching me again.
I want to pretend that
I don't notice
but
my voice
get choked
as
I tell him
I did what
to
me is unforgiven.
He
tells me I'm sorry,
it's for the best.
I cry out
No
it's just best for YOU!
....
O'PLEASE
forgive me
if I don't believe you.
I throw my wedding ring
at him
saying
I no longer want it!!!
NO......Not
after this morning.
I feel my *******
getting wet,
It's not what you think..
&
I know its time
to
change
my **** pad,
He
looks at me as
I run to the
bathroom.........
I'm sitting
here
on a toilet
as
he's
repeating
his plea
to forget
&
forgive.
It's now
8:48 pm
I wash up
&
come out....
I tell him
I loved you
But.......
To
abort
his seed,
my eggs
"I"
can
never
be..........
Forgiven!
Always Me Ayeshah

Time and drugs, the binding of our book.
How can I love when my heart beats
like the wings of a dying butterfly?
Hands shake
shake
shake hard enough that the leaves from surrounding trees
fall
and the salt and pepper shakers clang
China notes upon the table.
I spit on you, but I have no right
(nor left)
to do so.
Cut your hair, go for a run, leave yourself behind.
Dance with yourself or dance with the devil,
the two are one and one is zero.
Coffee, bass, thump, stomp,
coffee
coffee
coffee.
Ingest toxicity as the earth ingests the rain,
the rain that once was water-
wasn't it?
Bleeding eyes and tasteless lips and feet that touch,
soul to sole.
Who are you to dance, to drink, to forget,
while I stand stagnant
as a memory?
Come home to tearful cheeks and screams of pain,
come kiss my eyelids with your
punches,
or stay buried within your beautiful haze of smoke and
uppers
downers
all-arounders.
Capture a moment as a child captures an ant,
harmless at first
until the tweezers come out
and then-
oh,
there go my legs.
And in the other realms the time sweeps
through sands of soulless poison,
green and beautiful and stocked in slime enough to cover all of
Jerusalem.
Dance
dance
dance until you seize and your mind is a blank page of
uncried ****** tears.
And as my soul burns upward and the flames singe my
nostrils,
I reach toward the closest substance,
just push
push
push these flames back inside and downward,
before I combust into a ball of hellfire
right here on the grey tile floor.

deep into the wet and salt
uncried tears bracing cheeks
don't matter
run before the wind
slipping on the moon's reflection
lose the world behind
in whalesong
turn back only then
when the swell has tossed
all inside shifting still
turn back to the world
torn pockets spilling sand

Erica drowns the
Sorrows of her
Horrible life
In alcohol and
Severa vicious forms of
Self-mutilation
Such as
Erica jabs sharp objects
Into soft parts of her skin
Just to watch
uncried red tears
gush out of a
Body too broken to still be here
Despite her hardships,
Multiple suicide attempts
Such as tying a noose around
Her scrawny little neck or
Pulling the trigger
She refuses to admit depression
When she’s really low
She smokes,
Pops pills
Does everything she can
Just to get high
Her life is a nightmare,
Death no longer an option
It’s cheated her out of the
Happiness of the end too many times
Not even the devil could
Salvage her lost soul

Tyranny came around.
Chains appeared nearby.
We were afraid of life.
People enjoyed being fooled.
They've got the power.
This pain grew hard to stand.
We cried each alone.
People still cheered no mind.
Freedom is missing.
It's scary to speak up.
No tears left uncried.
someone opened their eyes.
Voices rising with little doubt.
Fools defend their illusions.
We come together slowly.
People are choosing sides.
They will be scared to death.
Chains will be breaking.
We shall rise our voices.
People will understand.
Watch them flee like never.
Hear the pain **** itself.
We will laugh singing.
People shall smile dancing.

Tonight was lovely my dear
You did very well
Your heart sang with joy
Your smile widened
Your confidence grew
You were not fighting
You were whole
You were happy
You were guiltless
You weren't shy
You didn't hurt
You didn't remember
You didn't blush
You weren't embarrassed
You found the right words to say
Your violin sang with all you had
You said your goodbyes with joy
Sorrow didn't pierce your heart
Joy of confidence
Heart of soul
Mind of laughter
You'll never forget this night of success
Where you didn't want to cut at all
Starve or hit or feel angry
Or hate yourself
You didn't worry tonight
You were surrounded by happiness
You didn't feel like an outcast
You felt like you were one
One of many
Many make a body
And a body make a voice together
Singing joy
Spreading smiles
Remember this night my dear
Remember when you feel down
Remember when you are discouraged
Remember when you hurt
Look at the pictures
Let the memories fall
Like raindrops on your head
Cleaning your mind
Freshening your spirit
Lay down the blade
Uncurl your fist
Open the fridge
Remember tonight
Lay your head on your pillow
Curl up in your blanket
Relive the sights of people swarming around you
The smells of rosin and wood
The taste of cherry cough drops
The smile upon your face
Your friends and teachers smiling with you
You'll miss them so much
Your heart will rend apart
Blood will flow
Uncried tears thicken
Swallowing sobs
Remembering
It doesn't matter if you don't see them again
What matters is how much you think about them
Maybe you'll meet again
Maybe you won't
Remember this
You're never alone

Once lost in dreams,
Insomniac I became.
When red petals glittered,
Scattered color all around,
With eyes veiled under the dark night,
Colorless I became.
Then words sizzled,
Created storm,
Tore heart all around,
With uncried tears,
Voice choked,
Damp inside I became.
Ghastly winds stripped me naked,
Reality I became.

Behind the lies and painted smiles
Lies wounds that cannot heal
The tormented ache of a forgotten world
And a heart that can no longer feel
The outward laugh, a forgotten touch
Defy the darkness inside
The horror of a mind debauched and lost
In a pool of tears, uncried
A quick embrace and wanten love
Beleaguered by apathy and grime
A soulless mess, a repulsive truth.
Evil lingering in an languid mind

*The tears uncried,
The respect left behind;
Shame visible on face
No, this is not just a phase.
Oh, the humiliation!
It cannot be borne any more.
Will the soul give up?
Can't say for sure.
It fell on me-
The thunder,*
***And I got buried
For someone else's blunder.***

I am lifeless.
A heart without a beat.
A body without a soul.
A face without a smile.
Ripped of my innocence and left with the empty shell of who I used to be.
The terror-filled nightmares have me screaming.
I just want everything to stop.
Why am I suffering? Am I the only one?
The only one who cries herself to sleep.
The only one with lines drawn on her arms.
The only one dealing with the shrieking voices in her head, telling her to end it all.
Why do I have to suffer?
How can I be filled with life but remain empty?
Where did it all go?
I feel it. The warmth.
On my skin, but never inside.
I’m cold. Alone. Dead.
Never to know what a smile is. What it feels like.
It was difficult to remember. My smile.
Soft but contagious, it had stained my lips like blood.
The same blood I tasted as I bit my tongue hard to keep from screaming.
My insides are too damp with uncried tears.
I am just a hollow plastic doll with a painted happy face.
The mirror lies to me. Bringing to light all my flaws.
Whenever I saw my reflection, I didn't know who was staring back.
Every day I plaster my face with fake a smile.
I can’t take it anymore.
I am lifeless. A lifeless heartbeat.

Walking, your gait memorizes
Not when you know it
That doesn't count
Because that's different
When you don't know
That's special
A moment removed from
History, unremembered
And is all mine, no one else's
It's not a bounce, or a walk
Almost a combination of both
When every foot touches the ground
Your eyes glisten, uncried tears
And I hope you never cry again
I've been paying more attention
Just lately, and they're so animated
All around back and forth,
But with a sort of tunnel vision
Focused, but in the past
Hands move every word
Flying across the room
Around and around,
Blood tipped nails, work words
Crafted by the sharpest rapier tongue
Building, emphasizing every thought
A crazy, flurry of words, fingers and hands
It's with every breathe you take
Every action, you flow, glow
Fingers to toes
Eyes to heels
Absolutely
And always, yes, I do

How I felt with you near
Rapid heartbeat, unnecessary fear
I could swear I saw it in your eyes
As clear as the sunny skies
If only I could just forget
Then i'll no longer be this upset
These uncried tears
All these years
I love you
And I wish you knew

once, it was like a knife
grabbing at my insides,
cutting up my thoughts,
my heart, my mind,
a clear line of chaos spliced
into this line of fire
now, it is but a teardrop
left uncried, sitting on my
eyelid, a muted feeling
that rings harmoniously
through my soul.

I will never write a poetry about you.
Because what I wrote were my unsaid pains.
Uncried tears.
My broken self.
And I don't want you
To be one of them.
In this world,
Where letters are my warriors,
Words are my wounds,
Sentences are my scars,
And a poem is my pain,
I'll forever keep you
As my whisper of peace
Beyond cold wars.
As my tap of rest
Beyond tiredness.
As my click of happiness
Beyond grief.
Because
You are way more than
Those unbearable pains.
You are way more than
Those uncurable wounds.
You are way more than
Every poetries I wrote, baby.

Under my dark skull the
sea of uncried tears
dropping
dropping upwards
a stream
a river
a beam
piercing through
penetrating my bone plates immediately
up
to my deeply hidden
anger issues

Today is a different kind of fight
Today is not bruises and cuts
Grappling with darkness to see
Light and find a sprinkling of
Happy. No, today is darker
Today is fighting just to survive
To taste oxygen in my lungs and
Not bitter sadness or poison
Of hope that never really existed
In the first place, and time waits
For none and honey even memories
Must die. Today is heavy hearted
Tongue biting, palm digging pain
Hot teardrops, throat constricted
Shallow breathing, hurt. Today is
Counting seconds till i can sleep
And smiling pretty for the camera
Even when my eyelids are heavy with
Uncried cries and unslept sleep that i
So desperately need. Today is my broken
Reflection in the mirror, staring hopeless
At this stranger, cutting my finger on the
Shattered glass and I’m bleeding, red and
Oozing rage and i’m- losing myself.
Tomorrow is putting the pieces back together,
Shard by shard, tear by tear,scar by scar
Tomorrow i will not look so unfamiliar,
And this deep longing to know myself
Will fade away. Today is survival and
Tomorrow is living,
Tomorrow is living.
