Don't Cry For Me

Karen S. Ramsey

Hush, don't cry for me
Because my heart has changed this time
He must shelter me from the greed
So I can no longer run free
My shallow tears run down his chest
As the pain comes and goes
The sound of the wind reminds me of my last life
When things were simple and true
Thick fluid rushes into my mouth
And I quietly begin to choke
I see the hate in his eyes
As he brings his lips to mine
Life is a constant cycle
And we will be here again
I try to whisper in his ear
Hush, don't cry for me.
