Hurt I cry

a poem by Maryse Saldanha

So cold and alone, feeling hurt I cry
Soft pearly tears flow from my eyes
Why do you hurt me thus?
Why do you make me cry?
Is there an answer at all?
Or will this be till I die?

So many questions, but no answers at all
Helpless I cry away, the tears gently fall
They try embrace all the pain
But they can comfort me not
For my comfort is in you
For your embrace I long

Your words like thorns pierce my heart
But I don’t think you care
For you think it is right
Yes you must be, but how wrong am I?
For the once that I failed
Forever must I cry?

Cold and alone, hurting I cry
Do you see my pain or hear my cries?
The truth how to prove
At a loss am I
For him who don’t trust
But I love and keep trying
