Remember Me Poem by Kerry Valkyrie Baldock Kelly

I need to cry but I can't,
The tears just don't come anymore,
I need to cry but I can't,
Heartache and hurt has just become the norm,
I need to cry but I can't,
So many people around me and yet I feel so very alone,
I need to cry but I can't,
Sometimes I want to sleep for so long that I never wake again,
I need to cry but I can't,
If I did I know that like a powerful waterfall the pain would engulf and tears never cease,
I need to cry but I can't,
I am wholly unable to express how I feel after years of guilt laden suppression of the burning pain,
I need to cry but I can't,
If someone reads my words someday when I have left this mortal coil, think of me, remember me and empathise,
Because I need to cry, but I can't!
