No More Crying Poem by James Casey

No More Crying

My eyes have ceased their crying emotions not so torn
Confidence fills my heart I no longer am forlorn.
She can't look at me and love me that's more than just okay
She feels for me, a lot but just in her own way.

Unlike like her I have demons from my past, I have got to beat
I still have earned my place, with her, dancing cheek to cheek
She knows I'm not her doormat she never was that kind
I thought we had more than empty words I asked, she declined

I gave the greatest gift I had gave it in much trust
Gave more than empty words more than empty lust
We had an understanding with a little room to build
Left room for improvement dreams could to be fulfilled

If she could find the will to hold me, no longer at arms length
I could find a way to fix this using our inner strength.
But she has found another and dismissed my love today
She detached herself, like my mother, so I'll just go away
