Dear Cry, Pity Me! Poem by Vagi Samuel Jnr

Her tears kissed the edges of her face
A cry that defended bruises in between a mask
Could she run? Or cheat death in the moment
Where could she have gone? Rain come already

Going over it in her mind
The words of torment evading her, defeating her
Better off the shame on her cheeks
Than giving into complete despair

She gazed up to the heavens
Pleas of solemn serenity she begged
Half-mast casted a seldom penalty
These wraths of nature send comfort please

Hopelessness swept through her
Desperation claiming its path
Darkness slowly engulfing her, consuming her
Dear cry, pity me and have me not die here then!
