I Cry Poem by Marites C. Cayetano

I cry not for you
I cry not for me
but I cry for us
who can only whisper to the moon
for our love not wanted
for our dreams gone to smoke
for our hope smashed to the ground.

I cry not for you
I cry not for me
but I cry for us
who are crazy to believe
that because the world is round
time will surely come
for us to be on top...

I cry for us
...for us still standing
for us not giving up hope
not surrendering
even if...

...I'm tired.
