I’m Going To Cry Poem by Louise Tredoux

I’m Going To Cry

Rating: 2.5


I’m going to cry, tonight and
tomorrow, all day long, because
I may, I promised I wouldn’t cry
when Rudi left, when he collected
his bags, I didn’t cry at all – the pill
Juliette gave me probably helped –

When he was gone, Juliette and
Werner also, I could let go, there
is no-one left, no-one to talk to,
no-one who understands, no-one
who cares about me, no-one who
reads my thoughts

I cried, and cried, I’m crying still, I’m
going to cry as much as I want, no-one
to query swollen eyes, no-one to give a
damn, it doesn’t matter to anyone, my
father said NEVER trust anyone because
when you do, your heart will be broken

And it’s true, my heart is in a million pieces,
there’s no-one to turn to, I hate their reactions
and pity, with Rudi gone, there is no-one to talk
to, no-one to understand or give a damn - and
it is fine - this is the kind of experience I must
have to commiserate with everyone

As they go through their lives, but the pain is so
real, my body so broken and sore, there is nothing
left, nothing at all to live for – not telling Rudi – he
must be free to chase his own dream – a dream I
can’t provide in, I am crying alone, as long as I
don’t tell anyone...
