A Grave Out Of Tears Poem by BiggRich Shuping

The thoughts of what could have been remain
I want to forget but the scars won't fade
So I bury myself in tears
Until I resurrect
From this sullen grave
I chose for my heart to rest

Cyclonic thoughts of murdered happiness
Lynch my sanity
A cerebral vacation attempt
Proves an act of vanity
So I bury myself in tears
Until I resurrect
From this sullen grave
I chose for my heart to rest

Emotions choke my words
Whenever I try to speak
But the silence proves too heavy
For my chest to take
Yet I remain silent still
I don't speak
Instead I bury myself in tears
And hope to resurrect
From this sullen grave
I chose for my heart to rest

The dance of pain was choreographed by flying hope
Before it came crushing down
A slanting slope
Life is didactic, so it's a lesson learned
A painful one too if you may,
Allow me to add
And bury myself in tears
Until I resurrect
From this sullen grave
I chose for my heart to rest
